The purpose of evidence-based healthcare management is to prevent the overuse, underuse or misuse of some management measures, and to eliminate the gap between research and practice or the difference between best practices and conventional practices. Evidence-based healthcare management is still in an early stage of development. It also faces many challenges, which have aroused some criticism and even suspicion. This is closely related to the complexity of the management field itself and the lack of empirical research in the field. Considering the scarcity of high-quality health and medical resources in China, in order to improve the scientificalness of healthcare decision-making, we strongly appeal that promoting evidence-based healthcare management requires government-led, universal education, intensified research, scientific evaluation, technological innovation and integration.
