Evidence-based formats in the library and online
•Systems: informatics systems that provide patient-specific, evidence-based, computerized decision support at the point of care (articles that discuss systems that are being used or developed)
•Summaries: includes clinical pathways or textbook summaries that integrate evidence-based information about specific clinical problems and provide regular updating
•Synopses of Syntheses: includes best practice information sheets, evidence summaries, evidence-based recommendations for clinical care (care sheets, quick lessons) for specific populations(e.g. treatment of asthma in young adults)
•Syntheses: most commonly systematic reviews or scoping reviews on a specific clinical question (eg, effectiveness of an intervention to get patients to take their medications)
•Synopses of Studies: summaries of research studies in the form of clinical pathways content and clinical guidelines for clinical topics (e.g. atrial flutter, diabetes)
•Single Research Studies: original scholarly research on specific clinical disorders (eg, a randomized trial of a new vaccination for preventing HIV)
