A fantastic video interview with SPM member Casey Quinlan conducted by John Hoben that discusses the op-ed in the journal, BMC Medicine entitled, Trustworthy guidelines – excellent; customized care tools – even better which she was a co-author on. From the article:

The ability to do online searches for health information has led to concerns that patients find the results confusing and that they often lead to expectations for treatments that have little supportive evidence. At the same time, the science of summarizing research evidence has advanced to the point where it is increasingly possible to quantify treatment tradeoffs and to describe the balance between harms and benefits for individual patients.
