Abstract:
Based on the theory of evidence-based medicine （EBM）， this paper systematically constructed a multi-dimensional evaluation framework for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） appropriate technologies， encompassing three core dimensions including evidence， practitioner， and patient. For the current practical challenges in the promotion of TCM technologies such as lack of high-quality evidence， inconsistent operational standards， and varying patient acceptance， the paper proposed the integration of published literature evidence and real-world research data to construct a scientific and applicable evaluation pathway. Regarding the evidence dimension， it emphasizes syste-matic assessment of effectiveness， safety， and economic efficiency， introducing methods like the target trial emulation framework to enhance evidence quality； for the practitioner dimension， it suggests developing multi-aspects competency evaluation tools based on educational background， training assessment， and clinical outcomes； for the patient dimension， it recommends designing patient acceptance assessment tools by considering factors such as technical characte-ristics， expected efficacy， patient-practitioner interaction， and the availability of alternative treatments. The purpose of the above measures is to provide methodological support for the standardized popularization and precision application of TCM appropriate technologies.
