The 'evidence-based approach' concept has gained significant prominence in Brazil and Portugal since the 1990s, particularly in healthcare, education, and public policy sectors. In the USA, it became standardized terminology in medicine through the Evidence-Based Medicine Working Group at McMaster University. Brazilian and Portuguese institutions increasingly emphasize this methodology in response to healthcare quality improvements and international research standards. The term reflects a shift from hierarchical, authority-based decision-making toward democratized, research-informed practices.
