MCMASTER+ on näyttöön perustuvan terveystieteellisen tiedon tietokanta. Se pohjautuu systemaattisiin katsauksiin 115 lehden artikkeleista. Artikkelit arvioidaan ja luokitellaan kliinisen relevanttiuden ja uutuusarvon pohjalta. MCMASTER+ on hyvä uusi mahdollisuus näyttöön perustuvan tiedon löytämiseen ja hyödyntämiseen.
MCMASTER+ on käytössä Duodecimin Terveysportti-palvelun kautta. Tutustu jo tänään!
