Users' Guides Textbooks and CD-ROM

JAMA and Archives Journals, the Evidence-Based Medicine Working Group (EBMWG) and the Centre for Health Evidence (CHE) have collaborated to produce the Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice textbook, edited by Gordon Guyatt and Drummond Rennie. This is an entirely new rendering of the JAMA Users' Guides series that is currently housed on the CHE Web site.

The same team has collaborated to produce the Users’ Guides on CD-ROM, adding Robert Hayward as editor of electronic products. The core content of the Users’ Guides book is rendered to a format suitable for viewing, browsing and searching on personal computers. The Users’ Guides content is organized, classified and coded to support electronic outlining, index searching, and full-text searching. All illustrations and tables are in a form suitable for electronic display and there is a consistent navigational, iconographic and graphical interface. Footnotes, citations to the literature and links to terms in an evidence-based glossary are hyperlinked to the Users’ Guides content.

The manual for every physician.
