- The next stage is to preform the PubMed search. Select from the menu Tools > Online Search.
- In the Window [Online Search for References], type in the words "patient flow" (note: make sure you have the words patient flow in quotations). and click the Search button.
- This will now query PubMed and retrieve the references. The references will now show in Synthesis, but have not been imported into Synthesis yet (note: this is only to show how many references matched your search query and what they look like).
-
Click the Import into Synthesis button. This will now open a new Window
[Importing references from Online Search] and import the references into
Synthesis. (note: Synthesis will automatically check for duplicate references.
To learn more about this feature see [duplicates]).
