Content is provided from two premiere evidence-based medicine sources.
The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews , compiles systematic reviews of important healthcare interventions. The editors of Best Evidence screen the top clinical journals to identify studies that are both methodologically sound and clinically relevant. Enhanced abstracts of the selected articles are written to provide commentary on the value of the article for clinical practice. The benefits of searching EBMR are fully realized in combination with the other databases linked through HSL Online, such as Medline and the full-text journal collections. From their desktops, clinicians can locate the best articles in Medline, view the evidence-based medicine reviews on the subject, and then study the evidence in the original article.
