Participants will be introduced to searching for journal articles or healthcare information on HealthStar or other online indexes. EBMR includes two separate databases, Best Evidence and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Best Evidence. The editors of Best Evidence screen the top clinical journals on a regular basis and identify studies that are both methodologically sound and clinically relevant. They write an enhanced abstract of the chosen articles and provide a commentary on the value of the article for clinical practice. Using this source, clinicians can quickly understand and apply to their practice important changes in medical knowledge, without having to read and synthesize for themselves thousands of journal articles.
Protocols are the background, objectives and methods of reviews in preparation.
Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews database is accessible through the library's website, along with all of the other online databases we offer you. Call the library at 694-5467 for more information. We will now subscribe to the full text of a few journals that we do not receive in print. We hope that online access to these titles will enhance our current journal collection. In most cases, the coverage dates back to 1996.
