title: Evidence-based medical dispute resolution in workers' compensation.
abstract: There is a trend toward insisting on empirical evidence, rather than relying on expert judgement, in both health care and law. Medical knowledge is applied in law to provide solid logic for the physician's opinion and to place the opinion in a context that assists the adjudicator. Dr. Guidotti examines workers' compensation disputes in the light of hypothesis development and application of scientific theory.
