EBM is "the conscientious use of current best evidence in making clinical decisions about patient care". This original definition is attributed to this article by Sackett, et al.
EBP is a method of effectively translating EBM into clinical practice using the best existing evidence and research, knowledge of clinical experts, and patient preferences.
