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

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
