There's also Straus S, Haynes RB. Managing evidence-based knowledge: the
need for reliable, relevant and readable resources. CMAJ April 28 2009;
180|: 942 - 4.
IMHO, an excellent summary of the issues.

that a topic has been put through a process of evaluation that can lead
to tertiary summmarized sources of information; one word we use for
these tools is "point of care":
