Try DynaMed for clinical reference support
Posted on February 2, 2009
DynaMed provides evidence-based, clinically-oriented summaries of more than 3,000 topics, including 800+ pharmaceutical summaries based on AHFS Drug Information.
DynaMed monitors the content of 500+ journals and is updated daily based on newly-published evidence. The content is comparable to that of First Consult, another point-of-care resource offered by the Library.
To help users judge the quality of available evidence, DynaMed provides three "Levels of Evidence" labels:
- Level 1: Likely reliable evidence
- Level 2: Mid-level evidence
- Level 3: Lacking direct evidence
For each medical condition, information is given on aspects such as:
- Causes & Risk Factors
- Complications & Associated Conditions
- History
- Physical
- Diagnosis
- Prognosis
- Treatment
- Prevention & Screening
- References (including reviews and guidelines)
- Patient Information
A link to DynaMed is found on the Library Web site under "Highlights." Please provide comments about DynaMed by completing our trial feedback form.
