The veterinary practitioner should base decisions concerning diagnostic procedures and treatments in practice on recent, valid and clinically relevant information. He may rely on journal papers, colleagues, the internet or other sources. It is a great challenge to find appropriate information in a reasonable time. Furthermore, the practitioner has to judge the information regarding its actuality and validity. Ideally, such information should provide a high level of evidence. This means that this information is more likely to be "correct". Good information can be obtained through high quality trials, such as randomized and blinded controlled clinical trials. Universities, publishers and professional organizations should promote editing of scientific information to support practitioners in decision making.
兽医从业者在临床实践中做出有关诊断程序和治疗的决策时，应依据最新、有效且与临床相关的信息。他可以参考期刊论文、同行、互联网或其他来源。在合理时间内找到合适的信息是一项巨大的挑战。此外，从业者还必须判断信息的时效性和有效性。理想情况下，此类信息应具备较高的证据水平。这意味着该信息更有可能是“正确的”。通过高质量试验，如随机双盲对照临床试验，可获得优质信息。大学、出版商和专业组织应推动科学信息的编辑工作，以支持从业者进行决策。
