Phase Two: Finding the Information

Q13. Where would you go to get high-quality books on this topic?

Suggested Solution

Visit the National Academy Press site where all IOM reports are kept in full text. IOM's members and committees examine many issues of importance to health services researchers including those on racial and ethnic disparities . More information on the Institute of Medicine.

CINAHL includes full text documents in its database and is worth exploring as are the full text documents in HSTAT.

LocatorPlus is one of the NLM free online catalogs. Use the catalog to search for books on your issues using MeSH. For example, a search on 'Medicare AND reimbursement' using a 'Keyword Combination Search' retrieved 292 books.

Other publishers including associations also have made a number of valuable documents available on the Web. Be sure to check out the important players module (Module 3) for documents.
