Reviewed records availableVisit resource siteThe proof-of-concept search dataset is being reviewed to retain resources relevant to emergency discharge. External sites maintain their own content, accessibility, languages, and availability. Some trusted catalogues, including TREKK, curate individual resources hosted by partner organizations. In those cases, search results identify both the curating source and the destination organization; inclusion of a linked resource does not approve every page on the destination website.
