| Authoritative, evidence-based guidance for clinical care. Evidence is graded on the type of research study and the quality of the evidence | |
| BMJ Clinical Evidence | |
| BMJ Clinical Evidence is a decision-support resource; it describes the best available evidence from systematic reviews, RCTs, and observational studies where appropriate, and if there is no good evidence it says so. | |
| BMJ Updates | |
| BMJ Publishing Group and McMaster University's Health Information Research Unit are collaborating to provide you with access to current best evidence from research, tailored to your own health care interests, to support evidence-based clinical decisions. All citations (from over 110 premier clinical journals) are pre-rated for quality by research staff, then rated for clinical relevance and interest by at least 3 members of worldwide panel of practicing physicians. | |

| DynaMed - Access via HAM/TMC proxy server | |
| Dynamed is a clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other health care professionals for use primarily at the 'point-of-care'. With clinically organized summaries for nearly 3,000 topics Dynamed is the only evidence-based reference shown to answer most clinical questions during practice. Dynamed is updated daily and monitory the content of over 500 medical journals and systematic evidence review databases directly and indirectly by using many journal review services. Each publication is reviewed cover-to-cover, and each article is evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity. The new evidence is then integrated with existing content, and overall conclusions are changed as appropriate representing a synthesis of the best available evidence. Through this process of systematic literature surveillance, the best available evidence determines the content of Dynamed. | |
| Evidence-Based On-Call | |
| In this compendia you will find evidence-based summaries of 38 on-call medical conditions. Every recommendation links via a plus (+) icon to a short summary of the evidence which in turn link to one-page summaries (called CATs) used via the cat icon. | |
| Evidence Matters | |
| Designed by clinicians, Evidence Matters (EM) is a clinical knowledge management system to help support the use of research in decision-making. It helps to answer questions on the effectiveness, safety, and costs of therapy options for a particular patient, in an evidence-based manner. It includes over 100,000 outcomes covering 1,300 treatments from the following disease categories: Oncology, Cardiology, Endocrinology/Metabolism, Respiratory Disorders, Gastroenterology and Neurology. All results are built on trusted peer-reviewed research and organized in an evidence-based manner into summary graphs or tables, based on therapy effectiveness, safety, and cost. | |
| MD Consult - Access via HAM/TMC proxy server | |
