"Evidence Farming (EF) is a concept to provide local evidence through the systematic collection of clinical experience to guide more effective practice. Findings from this small conceptual study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19018899 "Physicians reported that when making clinical decisions, they more often rely on clinical experience, the opinions of colleagues and EBM summarizing electronic clinical resources rather than refer directly to EBM literature. Confidence in making decisions based on clinical experience increases over time, yet few physicians reported having systems for tracking their clinical experience in designing treatment plans and patient outcomes. Most physicians saw EF as a promising way to track experience, thereby making scientific evidence more relevant to their own clinical practices."
