Emcare is a nursing and allied health database that is available in the Ovid platform. It includes mainly evidence-based clinical content.
It has its own system of subject headings (thesaurus), and includes the Map term to subject heading feature, which means you can check for and search by the official Emcare subject heading. Note that, in Emcare Advanced Search, the default is to have this feature turned ON (see screen shot below).
The Ovid platform also includes the MEDLINE database, an important health and medical database. You can search across MEDLINE and Emcare together - see the box below on Searching in more than one database in Ovid.
As noted, Emcare is available in Ovid so here are some tips on searching in Ovid:
For help with using Ovid, please contact the Library or use the Library/Information Searching forum on the NRS397 Interact2 site.
If you want to search more extensively in Ovid, you can search across multiple databases at the same time.
Go to the Ovid menu of databases and select the databases that you wish to search.
