Evidence-Based Practice indexed by Elsevier

Many of you may be familiar with Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), a monthly publication from the FPIN network. What you may not know is that as of this year, articles from EBP are being indexed by Elsevier and included in Scopus. For those of you who aren't familiar with the publication, EBP takes an independent look at best-available evidence for primary care practice, and also includes a patient education piece (co-authored by an FPIN librarian, Jean Blackwell) that each month translates one popular Clinical Inquiry topic into lay terms. The evidence-based patient handouts are freely available from the FPIN website. The online archive of EBP is available to subscribers.

If there are physicians at your institution who are EBP readers, please be sure to take advantage of your FPIN membership for a subscription discount! (The same holds true for PEPID PCP, a hand-held and online point-of-care resource that includes evidence-based content from FPIN).
