- Summary:
- "HealthSTAR focuses on both the clinical (emphasizing the evaluation of patient outcomes and the effectiveness of procedures, programs, products, services, and processes) and the non-clinical (emphasizing health care administration, economics, planning, and policy) aspects of health care delivery. It includes relevant bibliographic records from MEDLINE from 1975 to the present, CATLINE from 1985 to the present, and additional, unique, records specially indexed for it from three sources: (1) journal articles with an emphasis on health care administration, selected and indexed on an ongoing basis by AHA; (2) a collection of 9,451 retrospective (1975-1981) monographs, technical reports, and theses from the National Health Planning Information Center (NHPIC); and (3) journal articles, technical and government reports, meeting papers and abstracts, and books and book chapters on health services research, clinical practice guidelines, and health care technology assessment selected and indexed on an ongoing basis through NICHSR"--Fact sheet.
