====== Best practices ====== The term "best [[practice]]s" refers to: Proven, effective [[method]]s or [[technique]]s that consistently lead to superior outcomes and are widely accepted as benchmarks within a field. In medicine and neurosurgery, the best practices are: [[Evidence-based]]: grounded in clinical research and validated outcomes. [[Replicable]]: can be applied reliably across different contexts and teams. [[Efficient]]: maximize benefit while minimizing risk, time, and cost. [[Ethical]] and patient-centered: respect [[autonomy]], [[dignity]], and [[safety]]. Continuously evolving: updated based on new [[evidence]], innovations, and real-world feedback. In short: ✅ Best practices = “What works best, according to the best knowledge we have — applied with judgment and humanity.” ---- [[Best practices in neurosurgery]]. ----
