Back to customer servicesHospitals, clinics, and departments

Your team searches the literature again at every meeting, without retaining the previous evidence base.

The department wants 10 shared questions, monthly updates and regular discussion.

How does this scope address your concerns?

You worry that an annual fee buys notifications, while useful question support still costs extra.

When this scope fits

One department with stable shared questions and a lead seeking maintenance within a defined scope.

When the scope needs adjusting

No fixed questions, unlimited expert support, complete systematic reviews or direct EHR integration.

Month 3: new source
Record question impact and support hours

Future maintenance illustration, not completed scans. Existing example scope: 12 updates, up to 120 new full texts and 24 support hours/year.

Fixed baseline	Number ten questions first	Confirm users and access
Change note	No-update scans retain records	State each source’s impact on baseline judgments
Scope use	Material and support allowances are traceable	Scope substantive reassessment first

Scope & acceptance

Work covered by the quote

Illustrative scope: 1 department, 10 authorized users and 10 fixed questions; 12 monthly updates, up to 120 new full texts over the year and 24 hours of professional support.

Pilot reference: CNY 60,000–180,000/department/year. Fictional CNY 60,000 budget: 36,000 for evidence maintenance and 24,000 for 24 support hours, paid as 15,000/quarter. Included work is not charged again as a personal subscription.

Acceptance criteria

Acceptance checks the agreed frequency, material limits, responses and time records. Meaningful changes and scans finding no update are distinguished.

Checking the evidence

Volumes come from the current proposed pilot scope. The budget and scenario are illustrative, not a completed client project or real transaction. A formal quote follows confirmation of scope, data permissions and personnel.
Inputs to confirm: department question list, existing materials and last discussion dates; source versions for each new article; authorized user list.

Methods, sources and professional responsibilities

THE BASIS FOR THIS SCOPE

Why this approach? Inspect the basis.

Institutional decisions require effect evidence, resources, implementation conditions and local applicability.

OFFICIAL GUIDANCE

WHO Guidelines

World Health Organization

Inspect public-health and clinical guidance

Find WHO guidelines and review the recommendation questions, evidence base and intended settings.

Scope & access conditions

Global guidance is not evidence of local implementation outcomes. Check population, resources, policy and timing.

PUBLIC DATABASE

Cochrane

Read systematic reviews and plain-language summaries

Explore a question’s research synthesis and the confidence researchers have in the findings.

Scope & access conditions

Plain-language summaries are public; full-review access varies. Applicability still depends on the population and question.

METHOD REFERENCE

GRADE · Cochrane Handbook

Cochrane · Chapter 14

Show effect size and confidence separately

Present important outcomes, relative and absolute effects, available data and certainty, with reasons for downgrading.

Scope & access conditions

GRADE evaluates a body of evidence for a particular outcome. Database inclusion or one study does not automatically establish high certainty.

Open official source

These references support problem definition and evidence appraisal. Your conclusions still require project-specific sources and professional review.

The value of this commissionEOS keeps agreed local questions, team permissions and version changes in an exportable record.

Ongoing departmental evidence serviceCompare alternatives and value

Teams search separately and do not know which new findings warrant another pathway discussion.

What to assess	ECRI	Evidence OS · Commissioned scope
Service focus	ECRI offers an assessment library and custom clinical reviews.	EOS keeps agreed local questions, team permissions and version changes in an exportable record.
When to choose	A mature institutional library remains useful for broad evidence access.	Example: ten fixed questions, twelve monthly updates, up to 120 added full texts and 24 support hours.

What the fee pays for: Planning reference: CNY 60,000–180,000 per department per year; additions require agreed scope.
Value beyond this task: Annual handover retains question baselines and change logs for transition to another provider.
How to assess value: Assess search time, repeated questions and evidence reuse; validate any clinical-pathway impact separately.

Check scan cadence, volume limits, response windows, sharing permissions and used hours.

Reuse and updates after delivery

Shared sources and versions create a handover record so new colleagues can understand earlier discussions. Private personal materials are not shared automatically.

Agree reuse rights, retention and export periods, and future update fees when scoping.

Questions before commissioning

Will an update be invented when no new study appears?

No. Scan dates, coverage and “no new evidence found” are recorded. Maintenance and reserved hours are settled under the agreement.

Can we add questions beyond the original 10?

Additional questions, full texts and hours need an agreed budget first. There is no automatic overage work or charge.
