本研究屬於探索性研究，因為台灣地區證據醫學（Evidence-based Medicine, EBM）的發展上在萌芽階段，因此以個案研究與內容分析方式來進行，並根據「立意抽樣」挑選彰化基督教醫院為研究對象，探討其證據醫學的推行狀況、證據醫學如何解決知識流通障礙、證據醫學對知識管理價值鏈的貢獻、以及組織間與組織內的知識流通效益。
研究結果發現：（1）大部分受訪者表示推行/使用證據醫學最主要的目的在於更新個人的知識，強調證據醫學對「個人」的重要性；（2）證據醫學推行的最大障礙在於時間的不足；（3）證據醫學提供一個良好的溝通機制或管道，可解決知識流通情境的障礙，但其他知識流通障礙的解決，證據醫學所能解決的程度有限，仍須組織的協助與承諾；（4）證據醫學可以提昇組織間與組織內的知識流通成效，尤其是個人與資料庫、同專科之間、與層級愈近者之間；（5）證據醫學的推行可促進知識管理價值鏈活動，包括知識創造、知識儲存、知識擴散、知識應用。另外，從學習型組織的角度來看，證據醫學的推行，對此實務觀念亦有相當大的貢獻。
本研究針對欲推行證據醫學此一機制的醫療單位，提出以下建言：（1）證據醫學要推行得好，必須要有高階管理者的支持；（2）完整的教育訓練計畫，可使組織內部人員清楚地瞭解證據醫學的真正意涵，也較能積極參與證據醫學活動；（3）完善的資訊系統可以讓醫療人員在存取資訊、知識時，更加容易；（4）適當的獎勵與懲罰可以激勵醫療人員投入證據醫學。
