In general, physicians are very data driven. They are trained to read, interpret, and form opinions about changes in care based on the latest published scientific data. The use of these data to influence and change general clinical medical practice is well-established and remains the primary methodology accepted by most physicians; however, when these scientific data are applied at the practice level, they are often met with intense doubt, scrutiny, and mistrust.
