Manitoba's Health Information and Knowledge Network (MHIKNET) provides library services to staff of Manitoba Health, Seniors & Active Living, fee-for-service physicians in Manitoba, and staff of participating Regional Health Authorities outside of Winnipeg. This voluntary survey is intended to help MHIKNET identify the training and education needs of MHIKNET clients and will inform the content, location, format, and scheduling of sessions offered by MHIKNET in the coming months. MHIKNET can provide training on: library orientation, PubMed and other evidence-based resources, managing references, keeping current with the literature, and many more! The survey takes just a few minutes to fill out and even if you have never used MHIKNET services, we would appreciate your participation so we can better serve you in the future!

Quality filtered searching with a Best Practices Search Filter
by MHIK NET 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Carol Friesen, the MHIKNET Librarian for Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors, published an article in the first issue of Manitoba Libraries<http://mla.mb.ca/sites/default/files/201412/ML1.1_All-5.pdf> about a search filter she developed to narrow search results for literature searches in PubMed to high quality literature in the area of best practices. The search filter "provides consistency in searching for relevant literature and is included in focused search strategies that are used for ongoing alerts of current evidence-based literature". Here is the search filter: improv*[TI] OR evaluat*[TI] OR effectiv*[TI] OR "best practice"[TI] OR "best practices" OR cost*[TI] OR economic*[TI] OR Meta-Analysis[ptyp] OR Review[ptyp] OR systematic [sb] OR Comparative Study[ptyp] OR "Comparative Effectiveness Research"[Majr] OR Evaluation Studies[ptyp] OR "Benchmarking"[MAJR] OR "Cost-Benefit Analysis"[Mesh] OR "Practice Guideline"[Publication Type] OR "Practice Guidelines as Topic"[Mesh] OR "Quality Improvement"[Mesh] OR "technical report"[Publication Type] After this search filter is combined with other search terms for an applicable literature search<http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/Request> question in PubMed, the results are quality filtered to find the most relevant articles for the question. This search filter can also be used in ongoing Current Awareness alerts<http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/Current_Awareness> to keep current on specific topics in PubMed. Find out more about Quality Filtering here<http://www.nlm.nih.gov/nichsr/ihcm/05liteval/liteval05.html>.
