Finding the evidence.
Powerful new electronic resources have greatly enhanced the ability of physicians to find current evidence to answer clinical questions. CD-ROM databases and World Wide Web access via the Internet provide convenient, up-to-date, easily searchable reference material for practicing physicians. The MEDLINE database is now available free of charge through Internet Grateful Med and PubMed on the Internet. Physicians can focus a literature search to retrieve studies that use methodology consistent with good medical evidence. Once the citations are in hand, physicians have several options to retrieve the full text of the relevant articles.
