Evidence-Based Databases All of these databases are available through Ovid. EBM Reviews - ACP Journal Club The ACP Journal Club Collection consists of two journals ACP Journal Club, a publication of the American College of Physicians, and Evidence-Based Medicine, a joint publication with the British Medical Journal Group. 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.
EBM Reviews - Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CCTR (formerly Cochrane Controlled Trials Register) is a bibliographic database of definitive controlled trials. CCTR contains over 300,000 bibliographic references to controlled trials in health care. Cochrane groups and other organizations contribute their specialized registers; and these registers—together with references to clinical trials identified in MEDLINE and EMBASE—form the CCTR database. Contributors to the Cochrane Collaboration follow quality control standards to ensure that only reports of definite randomized controlled trials or controlled clinical trials are included.
EBM Reviews - Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (COCH) includes the full text of the regularly updated systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare prepared by the Cochrane Collaboration. Cochrane is available through Ovid.
EBM Reviews - Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) is a Full Text database containing critical assessments of systematic reviews from a variety of medical journals. DARE is produced by the expert reviewers and information staff of the National Health Services' Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (NHS CRD) at the University of York, England, and consists of structured abstracts of systematic reviews from all over the world. DARE records cover topics such as diagnosis, prevention, rehabilitation, screening, and treatment. DARE is available through Ovid.

Evidence-Based Medicine is a bi-monthly journal designed to alert clinicians to scientifically meritorious and clinically important advances in treatment, diagnosis and clinical prediction, aetiology, prognosis, economics, and quality improvement. WE DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS JOURNAL.
Evidence-Based Nursing is a quarterly journal designed to alert practicing nurses to important and clinically relevant advances in treatment, diagnosis, aetiology, and prognosis.
This database is designed for hospital clinicians who want to integrate the best available evidence with their own personal skills and expertise to improve the care of their patients. The site comprises two sections: Guides and CATs. CATs form the basis of all our material. A CAT is a Critically Appraised Topic, i.e. a summary of the evidence contained in a medical journal article. Guides provide bullet-point recommendations on the diagnosis and management of a range of on-call conditions. Each guide is divided into sections, such as diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, etc.
Evidence-based Practice Centers A list of available evidence reports.
