The idea
The first component of an evidence-based decision is external evidence: research, evidence-based theories, opinion leaders and expert panels.
In practice
A synthesis, a theory, and a consensus statement, all counting as external evidence.
Where people slip
Opinion leaders and expert panels are named here as external evidence. They are its lowest level, and they are still on the list.
