>A group of keen researchers & clinicians at Vancouver General Hospital
>(Canada's 2nd largest tertiary care hospital) have asked me to find some
>literature regarding when EBM began to be adopted within institutions.
>I have search PUBMED and other databases but perhaps I have missed
>something.

>Key figures: Drs. Sackett, Haynes and others. Aside from McMaster and
>Oxford, I am finding it a challenge to uncover articles discussing
>institutional resistance to evidence-based practice where intuition or
>experience-based practice seems still to be the norm.

>If you have any articles you'd recommend, I'd be most grateful.
