Abstract

There is a wide acceptance of the fact, that processes of clinical decision-making has to be based on sound scientific evidence. But in the context of a rapidly growing amount of new information, it is increasingly difficult task. That is why specialized tools and resources enabling to quickly and efficiently search and disseminate relevant evidence are needed. Web 2.0 is a platform that provides an armamentarium with great potential to contribute to solving this task. This paper presents a newly developed information resource aimed at support of clinical decision making in cardiology called Cardio Online Reader/COR. The COR provides the best available evidence from database MEDLINE/PubMed by means of an online application equipped with tools and services typical for Web 2.0. A beta-version of the application is freely accessible at .
