Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews This database contains full text articles as well as protocols focusing on the effects of healthcare. Data is evidence-based medicine and is often combined statistically (with meta-analysis) to increase the power of the findings of numerous studies, each too small to produce reliable results individually. For all Cochrane Databases, click here & choose EBSCOHost Web.
Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) This database includes
abstracts of published systematic reviews on the effects of health care from around the world, which have been critically analyzed according to a high standard of criteria. Reviewers at the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at the University of York, England conduct this appraisal. DARE's abstracts include a description of the systematic reviews methodology, results and conclusions. It provides access to quality reviews in subjects for which a Cochrane review may not yet exist.
Health Business Fulltext Elite (Citations and full-text) This database provides full text coverage for more than 450 well-known administrative journals. Health Business Elite provides comprehensive journal content detailing all aspects of health care administration and other non-clinical aspects of health care institution management.
