Meta-Data
We export our data to various groups around the world. This allows other organisations to add TRIP Database content to their own knowledge systems.  This can be used for in-house search engines, interfacing with decision support systems etc.

Education Tools
We are increasingly involved in supplying educational knowledge tools for use in continuing professional development.  This can involve the actual production of learning material or just supplying the data to be incorporated into in-house systems.

Consultancy
We have worked with a variety of groups to help them identify and fill their knowledge requirements.  Contracts have varied from critiquing project overviews to working with the organisation to produce knowledge plans.

Search tips

  • Using only one term can bring back a large number of results, so think of additional terms to help qualify the search e.g. asthma and steroids.
  • Phrase searching is achieved by placing the phrase within quotation marks.
  • In addition to Boolean searching you can also use brackets to enhance the search e.g. ‘(measles OR mumps) and pregnancy’
  • A search term can be stemmed by using the ‘*’ e.g. ‘cancer*’ will find cancer, cancerous etc.
  • On the results page you can filter your results based on an evidence based medicine hierarchy e.g. clinical guidelines, systematic reviews. Use the ‘Filter by’ function on the right-hand side of the screen.
