Abstract

Medical knowledge that integrates clinical research into routine medical practice may directly impact in the quality of care. In the process of medical knowledge generation are four steps: posing a question related with medical practice, analyzing the knowledge published in specialized literature, developing a research protocol and publishing results. Enabling clinical research-based decisions is essential to favor the development of strategies that increase the quality of care.
