  3. Objectives • Demonstrate features in PubMed@UR that enable you to focus a search to find evidence-based literature. • Discover tools to help you stay informed of the latest research that affects your clinical work. • Explore other evidence-based resources available through the libraries. • Introduce citation management software to help organize research and create bibliographies.

  4. What is EBM? The judicious and systematic use of the best current evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual patient. EBM is meant to integrate clinical expertise with the best available research evidence, and with patient values.

  5. Your Clinical Expertise EBP Patient’s Values & Preferences Best Available Scientific Evidence

  6. Review - Five Steps of EBM • Convert information needs into answerable questions • Find in the medical literature the best evidence with which to answer them • Critically appraise that evidence for its validity and usefulness • Apply the results of this appraisal in your practice • Evaluate your performance

  7. Clinical Question: Is computed tomographic colonography (Virtual colonoscopy) as good as colonoscopy for identifying polyps in a 50 year old woman with no symptoms of colon cancer? P: Patient, Population, and/or Problem 50 year old woman I: Intervention or Exposure Computed tomographic colonography C: Comparison Intervention or Exposure Colonoscopy O: Desired Outcome Identifying polyps

  15. Recommended RSS Readers • RefWorks • Useful if you use RefWorks already • Web-based • You can import data into your RefWorks database

  16. List of medical Journals offering RSS feeds http://ebling.library.wisc.edu/bjd/journals/rss/index.cfm

  17. What is Social Bookmarking? • Web based bookmarks, instead of computer-based • Can help you manage and organize information • Easy to share with others

  18. Recommended Tool - Connotea • Geared towards the scientist • Created and operated by Nature Publishing • Easy to share your library with others

  19. PubMed • Limit to Publication types (Clinical Trial, Practice Guidelines, Reviews, Evaluation Studies, Meta-Analysis, Multi-center Study, Validation Studies) • Clinical Queries • Systematic Reviews • Related articles • Single Citation Matcher • My NCBI

  20. Keeping Current • MY NCBI • Ovid Auto Alerts • Daily Poems • bmjupdates • RSS Readers: Google reader, RefWorks, Onfolio • Social Bookmarking: Connotea
