The fast, effective route to Evidence-based Medicine

The search engine paradox
Paradoxically, the last thing we want to do with a medical search engine is spend time searching. What we really want is to find specific items hidden away in today's major databases. And to most of us it’s very important to do so as quickly as possible.

Too much information – too little specificity
Practical problems involving large scale resources like Google include unrealistic numbers of results, insufficient relevance and a lack of specificity. These stand in the way of our quickly getting what we want: a few clearly defined responses that answer our questions precisely. In fact, most of us read only the first page of results then simply abandon our search efforts. And the same is true when we use PubMed to seek medical evidence in MEDLINE.

Shifting the emphasis… from searching to finding!

MyEBMsearch: fast, specific and highly relevant
MyEBMsearch uses totally new technology to understand medical texts and thus also the substance of the abstracts in MEDLINE. This enables high speed content analysis and indexing and greatly enhances your access to this universally acclaimed resource. Problems arising from an ‘excess’ of results, inappropriate results or even missing results in MEDLINE are resolved systematically. This greatly increases the effectiveness of your searches. It also virtually guarantees major savings in valuable time spent retrieving the information you need. MyEBMsearch’s unique new technology has shifted the enquiry emphasis… from searching to finding!

Categorized information
MyEBMsearch^® automatically categorizes abstracts in clinically relevant topics. By doing so, it enables you to accurately locate the limited number of highly specific results you need. Quickly, efficiently and in detail. In fact all the specificity you could wish for – options like drug therapy, efficacy, adverse effects, prognosis and so on – is never more than a couple of clicks away.

Unequalled results delivery
Simply entering a primary term rapidly delivers the citations most relevant to your chosen subject. The results provided can then be filtered further by also entering your specific areas of interest or journals dealing with such specialist fields as cardiology, respiratory medicine, rheumatology, family medicine etc. Furthermore, results can be ranked on the basis of the clinical impact of the journals.

Case reports are readily accessible and MyEBMsearch^® lays considerable emphasis on reviews; its technology enables you to locate over 1,350,000 reviews. More importantly, however, it also identifies the most relevant 4% of systematic reviews. With these unique features, MyEBMsearch makes sure you find all the information you need in the most user-friendly way possible.

Automatic email alert updates
Another valuable service offered by MyEBMsearch^® is automatic updating of newly published material relating to your searches and favorite journals within your field of interest. In short, MyEBMsearch makes sure you’re kept right up to date!
