Benefits of Clinical Summary Tools
1. 🎯 Provide clinically relevant summaries or overviews of health conditions & their treatments, so function as a one-stop shop for clinicians
2. 🕔 A few relevant results per search (in contrast to the very numerous results produced by database searches) and so save time
3. 🔧 Include other useful tools such as calculators, guidelines, patient information etc
