The Physicians' Information and Education Resource (PIER), published by the American College of Physicians (ACP), is an electronic, evidence-based decision support tool for primary care physicians. All PIER modules are written by academic authors commissioned by PIER, peer reviewed, and updated on a continual basis by PIER editorial consultants. PIER can be accessed by members of the ACP through the PIER web site.
PIER has contracted with the Health Information Research Unit (HIRU)
at McMaster University to provide authors and editorial consultants with
recent citations for their modules. The ongoing
work of HIRU provides an opportunity to filter references so
that authors and editorial consultants receive high-quality relevant articles
that are of clinical interest. In addition, HIRU provides foundation
searches to newly commissioned PIER authors on their topics. |
