Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced that NHS Education for Scotland has selected DynaMed as its preferred point of care resource for all NHS Scotland staff and students.
NHS Education’s Knowledge Network had offered DynaMed, as well as other point of care resources, to its users but recently selected DynaMed as the primary point of care resource due to its comprehensive coverage and frequent and reliable updates. Another contributing factor to their decision to implement DynaMed as the primary resource was due to a recent report in KLAS that rated DynaMed higher than other disease reference tools. Survey respondents indicated that DynaMed excelled in the credibility of the information it provided and in the relevance of its information.
NHS Education’s subscription to DynaMed includes EBSCO’s Nursing Reference Center and Rehabilitation Reference Center. These resources offer the best available evidence-based clinical reference tools for nursing and rehabilitation practices. These, teamed with DynaMed, offer NHS Education with a full suite of point of care resources.
DynaMed is a clinical reference tool designed for use primarily at the point of care. It contains clinically-organised summaries for more than 3,200 topics. Daily updates provide the best available evidence available to clinicians making medical decisions. DynaMed integrates with electronic health records and is available via mobile devices.
