Point-of-Care Resources Evidence based textbooks  Provide rapid access to concise information to clinicians at the point of care  Not a database of articles from books, journals, or guidelines  Original, current, summaries written by experts  Formal systems used to grade strength of recommendations and quality of evidence

Information Retrieval for Evidence Based Health Care Using research findings versus conducting research Retrieving and evaluating information that has direct application to specific patient care problems Selecting resources that are current, valid and available at point-of-care Developing search strategies that are feasible within time constraints of clinical practice
