Corporate Learning Watch has adapted EBSCO’s core evidence-based methodology to areas of interest to corporate executives. The evidence-based approach identifies, selects and systematically evaluates pertinent information and creates a synthesis of the best available evidence. EBSCO’s experience with evidence-based content includes Sustainability Watch™ and the upcoming Food Industry Watch™ as well as the point-of-care resources it provides to hospitals and other medical institutions including the clinical decision support resource DynaMed™.

Corporate Learning Watch may be integrated into corporate portals and Intranets. The EBSCOhost® Integration Toolkit allows EBSCO’s content to be incorporated into an organization’s workflow—providing seamless access to premium content.
