Occupational Therapy Resources Guide

Canada's Occupational Therapy resource site

PubMed is an invaluable resource, enabling searching of a large portion of the biomedical literature and serving as perhaps the most popular entry point to MEDLINE. As an interface however, it is primarily geared towards presenting results in the form of a long, paginated list. This works well for examining individual citations, but is a poor fit for getting a larger sense of how one search compares to another (or how the results of a particular search compare to the database as a whole). For this purpose, it would be better to see searches in aggregate. Even better would be to display and compare searches using a variety of criteria.

With more than 400 measures and supported by some of the worlds best doctors, clinicians, therapists and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation researchers, the Rehabilitation Measure Database (RMD) is the go-to resource for benchmarks and outcomes.

The City Health Dashboard uses a similar model to categorize over 35 measures of health and drivers of health in cities to help community leaders and residents pinpoint and take action on gaps in health and opportunity.
