Healthcare professionals will be able to access information about the latest and most complete oncology guidelines available at the point of care following an agreement between EBSCO Health and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). Information from NCCN will be summarised along with other evidence and guidelines in the content available from the clinical reference tool DynaMed™.
The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) document evidence-based, consensus-driven management to ensure that all patients receive preventive, diagnostic, treatment, and supportive services that are most likely to lead to optimal outcomes. DynaMed will be able to use these guidelines as a reference to augment the existing evidence and guidelines that it considers when updating oncology topics. The DynaMed guidelines will include citations of the NCCN Content and will show the NCCN Categories of Evidence and Consensus.
The agreement with NCCN is just one way that DynaMed is enhancing its oncology content. Kevin Loughlin recently joined the DynaMed editorial team as the Deputy Editor of Oncology and Hematology to supervise a team of scientific and clinical writers and editors along with external peer reviewers to provide the most current, valid, relevant and convenient content and resources across oncology.
