What is an evidence note
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Evidence notes are rapid reviews of published secondary clinical and cost-effectiveness evidence on health technologies under consideration by decision makers within NHSScotland. They are intended to provide information quickly to support time-sensitive decisions and are produced in an approximately 3 month period. Evidence notes are not comprehensive systematic reviews. They are based on the best evidence that Healthcare Improvement Scotland could identify and retrieve within the time available. The reports are subject to peer review but do not undergo external consultation. Evidence notes do not make recommendations for NHSScotland.

This idea may seem evident, but it is in fact challenged by certain claims of cognitive philosophers who aver that our knowledge of necessity and causation is, i...
