Envision Research - Research Services
How many times have you used Google™ to search for health-related information, only to be bombarded by thousands of results with questionable relevance? Or perhaps you used a trusted consumer health site such as WebMDŽ, but found the information too simplistic and lacking the detail you needed to make a good healthcare decision.
If you are a healthcare professional who needs additional assistance with your literature search or systematic review, Marcy Brown has been trained in evidence-based medicine principles and performs extensive evidence-based seaches of the medical literature.
If you are a healthcare consumer, Marcy can help pinpoint the information that’s just right for your specific needs. She uses multiple free sites on the Web - including databases produced by the National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine, and other government agencies. - to access genetic information, clinical trials lists, and clinical practice guidelines. Marcy also knows about the best fee-based, proprietary databases to answer your health-related questions.
