About this Service

We will search the health literature on behalf of AHS and Covenant Health staff and provide a list of relevant articles with abstracts for you to review.

Standard Timelines

Urgent (same day | reserved for the care of an individual patient)

Express (within 5 business days)

Standard (within 10 business days)

Complex or ongoing (timelines to be negotiated)

We will make every effort to meet your requested timeframe but cannot guarantee expedited service quicker than our standard (10 business days). In times of high demand, requests that are needed to inform an individual patient’s immediate care will be prioritized.
