As a science which focuses on evidence, the decision making process of evidence medicine encounters an opportunity for development in the big data era. The starting point is shifting forward from evidence to data. The big data technology is playing an active role in evidence's collection, process and utilization. Evidence is more objective, righteous, authentic, transparent and easier to collect. Thus, to initiate evidence-based medicine research in the big data era and to structure an evidence-based medicine intelligent service platform, a full-scaled strategy should be developed in order to improve the quality of evidence. To promote the complete publicity of clinical research data, structuralized clinical data standard should be constructed. To provide a pathway to patients' follow-up data, portable and wearable monitoring devices should be popularized. To avoid risks from utilization of clinical research big data, regulations of clinical data usage should be implemented.
