These PubMed live searches (reviewed and updated October 2020) have been copied (with permission and acknowledgement) from the Health Libraries Australia (HLA) website. They provide updated results for topics aligned to the Australian National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards. They have been developed, tested and endorsed as part of the HeLiNS (Health Libraries for the National Standards) Research Project, a joint initiative of HLA and Health Libraries Inc. (HLI)

New to the revised version are dedicated searches in Health Literacy and Shared Decision Making
