Staying Current Series Part 2: Practice Changing Evidence with DynaMed
Libraries at Geisinger as well as the Geisinger College of Health Sciences both subscribe to point-of-care tools that support better patient outcomes and evidence-based care decisions. Highlighted below is the subscription database DynaMed.
DynaMed publishes clinically organized topics which are continuously updated as new information indicates a need for change in practice or improved understanding of the body of knowledge. DynaMed is actually updated more often than UptoDate! DynaMed’s content ranges from comprehensive reviews of diseases, conditions, and abnormal findings to highly focused topics on evaluation, differential diagnosis, and management.
A direct link to DynaMed is located under Popular Resources, or can be found alphabetically by Browsing Databases, or searching by name in Library eResources within the Databases section.
With a free DynaMed account you can unlock personalized alerts, CME/MOC credits, and full access to evidence-based medical guidance. Users “on-the-go” can take advantage of mobile access and continue work without missing a beat, thanks to syncing between desktop and mobile experiences in DynaMed.
Highlights of DynaMed include:
- topic or keyword search with autocomplete recommendations.
- filters to narrow your results page to more specific content.
- choice of All Results or All Images search results.
- calculators associated with your search topic.
- Tables of Contents and Topic Outlines within your results page, with tabbed sections for related Images and Updates.
- References and Find on Page options at the bottom of each result.
- ability to follow topics via Specialties.
