When it comes to health… Evidence Matters
“An evidence-based environment at point-of-care presents one
of the most challenging tasks in the entire information
services marketplace. On the one hand, the service presented
at point-of-care must be fully up-to-date, and present a
synthesis of current research which can be encapsulated at a
glance by time-challenged doctors. On the other, those
physicians and their decision-making must be increasingly
funnelled into the point-of-care slot, so that point-of-care
reflects good (and often local) practice, and diagnostic
decisions are reached which maintain high standards and
reflect professional concerns.” EPS Report 18 August 2005
With evidence-based practice growing in importance, ProQuest
invites medical school and hospital librarians to a short
presentation about the development processes and clinical
background experience powering Evidence Matters, a new
evidence-based medicine tool.
Evidence Matters is the next generation search engine that
saves hours of reading
Evidence Matters provides faster, easier evidence-based
comparisons of treatment effectiveness, safety and cost
Evidence Matters provides thousands of statistics from peer-
reviewed research, with hundreds of new statistics added
daily
Evidence Matters is the only tool that can help you find and
synthesise - quickly - all the relevant evidence to answer
your customised, patient-oriented questions
The presentation will be followed by an interactive focus
group / feedback session, where you will be asked your views
on future development priorities including subject coverage
and integration with other online resources. The session will
take place at 14h15, Tuesday 29 November at London Online.
To thank you for your input, all participants will receive a
£20 book voucher and a ProQuest gift bag. Numbers are
