Information services provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has expanded its partnership with BMJ to be the exclusive aggregated information provider of the BMJ Clinical Evidence resource on its OvidSP platform. Ovid will offer BMJ Clinical Evidence to medical and academic institutions globally to support clinicians, researchers, educators and students make decisions on quality care and improve patient outcomes through effective evidence-based clinical practice.
BMJ Clinical Evidence claims to be a unique decision-support resource that summarizes the current state of knowledge about medical interventions used in prevention and treatment of clinical conditions. Developed by selecting and appraising primary research literature to create rigorous systematic reviews of evidence on the benefits and harms of clinical interventions, the database consists of three parts: evidence-based medicine methodology, a database of more than 250 systematic treatment reviews for over 3,200 interventions and a suite of resources and tools - including critical appraisal checklists - designed to help put the evidence into practice.
OvidSP is a single online destination for conducting efficient and effective medical research, whether users are managing large-scale, document-intensive projects or making time-sensitive, evidence-based decisions. They can search BMJ Clinical Evidence and other EBM resources simultaneously with full-text ejournals and ebooks with just a single search query. In addition, they can manage their search results and research documents - all within the OvidSP platform.
