How ratings are used - Nurses

The rating system supports an Internet-based alerting system and "best evidence" database of links to original articles and systematic reviews to help nurses in a wide range of clinical specialties (currently 30 specialties) keep up to date with the health care literature. We use the ratings to help us select articles that are most interesting to raters and readers.

Ratings are used to prepare the following free evidence-based services:
