Evidence can be strong, but if it goes against the patient's values and beliefs the likelihood of the patient accepting the treatment plan is slim. Clinical tradition and physician preferences are incorrect. Clinical tradition is a frequent barrier to evidence-based practice because it is difficult to change the view that "we have always done it this way." Physician preferences, like tradition, are not necessarily based on best evidence.
