Getting Started: Match Resource to Information Need What is the question? How will information be used? 29
30
Information Retrieval to conduct Research Comprehensive in scope and time All levels of resources Current and Retrospective Background and Foreground Information 30
31
Background vs. Foreground Questions Asking questions about your proposed topic helps to clarify your knowledge gap Clarifying type of question helps to determine which sources are most likely to have the answers you need 31
32
Background Questions Generally ask who, what, why, where or how about a single concept 32
33
Proposed Research Projects Effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions with homeless people Evaluate the effectiveness of fatigue management programs for patients with multiple sclerosis 33
34
Background Questions What is the role of occupational therapy in working with the homeless population? What are methods of reducing fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis? 34
35
Answers to Background Questions Resources: CINAHL Complete ClinicalKey for Nursing MEDLINE PsycINFO OT Search 35
36
Foreground Questions Usually compare two or more concepts – theories, drugs, treatments, tests, harms or benefits of two approaches 36
37
Answers to Foreground Questions Require precise information about complex issues Sources should provide current, original clinical research data Start with evidence-based summaries and clinical trials 37
38

New Tools Target High-Quality Studies Increase ease of accessing and understanding clinical information Preprocessed - practical resources that facilitate ready access to high-quality research Preappraised – tools that have undergone a filtering process to include only those studies that are regularly updated and of higher quality
40
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
41
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
42
Summaries UpToDate –Evidence based summaries of over 10,000 topics in over 22 specialties –8,500 Treatment Recommendations –GRADE System used to score recommendations and strength of evidence –Practice changing updates; Updated continuously –Drug database; Patient education materials –The Gold Standard of summaries
