InfoRetriever (now called Essential Evidence Plus) contains InfoPOEMs – Patient Oriented Evidence That Matters – that also provide critiques of clinically relevant research articles. A special emphasis is placed on outcomes, with the thought that the information may influence practice. Information is assigned a “Level of Evidence” (LOE) score that indicates its strength. Essential Evidence Plus now includes EBM Guidelines (EBMG) in place of the the non-evidence based reference text, 5-Minute Clinical Consult. EBMG is produced by the Finnish Medical Society Duodecim and includes a concise, easy-to-use collection of more than 950 Practice Guidelines, more than 3,000 Evidence Summaries, and more than 1,000 images.
