Evidence-based decision-making is a systematic approach that integrates the best available scientific research, clinical expertise, operational data, patient preferences, and organizational experience to guide managerial decisions. In healthcare organizations, strategic planning involves setting long-term goals, allocating resources, improving service quality, enhancing patient safety, and ensuring financial sustainability. The integration of evidence-based decision-making into strategic planning enables healthcare organizations to make informed, objective, and effective decisions rather than relying on intuition or tradition. One of the most significant contributions of evidence-based decision-making is the improvement of strategic goal setting. Healthcare organizations collect and analyze data related to disease prevalence, patient demographics, treatment outcomes, service utilization, and community health needs. Such evidence allows managers to identify priority health issues and formulate realistic strategic objectives. For example, if data reveal a rising incidence of diabetes in a region, a hospital may strategically invest in specialized diabetic care units, preventive education programs, and telemedicine services. Evidence-based decision-making strengthens resource allocation by ensuring that financial, human, and technological resources are directed toward interventions with proven effectiveness. Healthcare resources are often limited, making efficient utilization essential. By evaluating operational performance indicators, cost-effectiveness studies, and utilization patterns, managers can prioritize investments that maximize health outcomes. This approach minimizes waste, avoids duplication of services, and improves
