Health Systems Evidence launches enhanced website

The next generation of Health Systems Evidence – the world's most comprehensive, free access point for high-quality evidence on health systems – has been launched by the McMaster Health Forum. Health Systems Evidence is a valuable resource for policymakers, stakeholders and researchers seeking to address today's most pressing health challenges. It provides answers on questions about how to strengthen or reform health systems, or how to get cost-effective programs, services and drugs to those who need them. The redeveloped website offers numerous enhancements, including new open search and advanced search functionalities, and is available in seven languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. A video tutorial on how to make the best use of the site is provided, which will assist users to rapidly identify syntheses of the best available research on a particular health system topic, as well as evidence on economic evaluations, and descriptions of health systems and health systems reforms. Health Systems Evidence is also now providing the option for users to subscribe to a customizable evidence service that will provide monthly email alerts identifying new documents available in the database specific to someone's individual interests. Visit the Health Systems Evidence Website to register and explore its many features.
