What's New
Version 9.2
September 2008

The purpose of the PURL system is to identify original research studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that report findings that, if implemented in practice, would be expected to improve patient outcomes. The PURL methodology includes primary literature surveillance, secondary literature surveillance, critical appraisal, review of the literature, peer review, editorial review, and clinical review.

We are also making it easier and faster to bring the evidence you need to practice. Starting with PCP and CRC 9.2, all evidence-based topics are listed both by specialty and chronologically. There are now individual chronologlical listings for Clinical Inquiries, Help Desk Inquiries and the new PURLs. All three resources combined are available through the specialty listing.

BEEM, the Best Evidence in Emergency Medicine, is a unique collaboration of frontline and academic emergency physicians around the world working together to find, select, appraise, and summarize the most recent and relevant emergency medicine-related studies. With the release of PEPID Emergency Physician Suite Version 9.2, there are more BEEM topics integrated into PEPID medical information. Each includes a summary of the evidence, links to complete articles for additional information, and feedback information so that you may contribute.
