I am a senior medical student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita. As part of our required senior course in Population Health in Practice (http://wichita.kumc.edu/php), we implement a quality improvement project at a local clinical site. To ensure that the intervention in the project is based on best available clinical knowledge, we execute a literature search and assessment and then summarize the assessment online at WikiDoc. Our literature search is based on the 6S strategy (PMID 19755349). Our study assessment uses the IOM Trustworthy scale for practice guidelines, AMSTAR framework for systematic reviews, Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for randomized controlled trials, and the QUADAS-2 tool for diagnostic tests assessment. We strive to use numeracy in our edits when able and link back to sources at PubMed using http://sumsearch.org/cite.
