EBP Research for Nurses

These are the resources we recommend to nurses conducting their own research into Evidence-Based Practice.

Landing Page

Welcome! 

You must be here for research into Evidence-Based Practice.  We've got you covered.

This is the Landing Page.  Think of it as the front door to different types of resources you'll find helpful in your research.  To make navigation easier, we've grouped our resources into categories in the blue boxes to the left:  Library Resources, CNTP Resources, Downloads, and Staff.  Please explore to familiarize yourself with what we have to offer.  Never hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.

How Are You Connecting? Local or Remote?

This is important so that we route you through the correct path to get to our resources.  

If you're on the hospital network, you don't need to do anything special. Publishers recognize traffic coming from our network.

If you're away from the hospital network, you'll need to have an OpenAthens account to prove to publishers that you're covered by Madigan subscription licenses.

Sign up here for an OpenAthens account.* You can self-register with your @health.mil address.  This is the only email domain that allows self-registration.  If you have an email account in the @army.mil or @mail.mil domains, please contact us so that we may register you.

Note:  If you already have an OpenAthens account from another institution, please contact us so that we can transfer that account to Madigan's OpenAthens configuration.  All MTF libraries have access to a common set of resources licensed centrally through DHA.  Madigan, along with other MTFs with large training footprints, subscribe to additional resources to support local training and research programs.  If you don't have a Madigan OpenAthens account, you won't have access to all our resources.

* The self-registration process uses a CAPTCHA image as the last step; this does not render reliably in all browsers.  Try Chrome first; if Chrome fails, try Firefox; if Firefox fails, try Edge.  If they all fail, please contact us for assistance.
