Ovid's Evidence-Based Medicine
Reviews (EBMR) and ACP Journal Club (ACP)
http://www.acponline.org
With Ovid's Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (EBMR), answering
clinical questions is a whole lot easier. Using Ovid's MEDLINE, a
clinician can enter the term "common cold," select the EBM Reviews
limit, and in seconds, a small number of high-quality articles appear
that discuss prevention and treatment of the common cold.
So, EBMR helps clinicians to find the best answer to clinical questions
in the least amount of time.
ACP Journal Club (ACP) is the second component in Ovid's growing
collection of Evidence Based Medicine Reviews collection. The editors
of ACP Journal Club 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.

series of trials) and meta-analysis, although it is not restricted to

as well as its collection, so that the evidence can reach clinical
practice. It therefore has commonality with the idea of research-based
practice.
