Özet
Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) is rapidly growing and has been receiving more recognition since last decade, due to its potential to effectively handle clinical challenges of a patient. EBM involves making sound decisions about treatment of patients which can significantly improve health care delivery and save human lives. The current emphasis on evidence-based healthcare has required and increases the demand for information resource. The need for timely and quality-filtered information during care and treatment has necessitated the search for reliable information source(s). Conversely, one of the main challenges facing EBM physician today is, where to find available and reliable clinical evidence for effective decision making. The information explosion caused by the internet as well as many untrustworthy sources of information in the electronic environment, coupled with the lack of time on the part of physicians to assess desired information has further created vital roles for health librarians at the point of care. Therefore, the objective of this study is to bridge the gap between physician and EBM research by providing knowledge and gateway access to EBM online database resource for health professionals, as well the roles played by health Science Librarian in the practice. It is hoped that, it will become a tool and guide resource for evidence-based medicine decision making in the health sciences which would, in turn, provides quality health care for patients, and also improves responsibility for well-being care practices and knowledge among the physician.
