McMaster University's Health Information Research Unit and DynaMed from EBSCO Publishing have partnered to help physicians understand the scope of the medical research being published every day. As a result of the agreement, the two best systems for keeping up with medical research have come together in an international partnership to identify practice-changing evidence for physicians and to include that knowledge directly into the DynaMed experience.
The agreement between McMaster University and DynaMed provides physicians with the information they need to know - the best available evidence - when and where they need it most - at the point of care.
McMaster University and DynaMed add context to the medical literature allowing hospitals and healthcare providers to make decisions based on the best available evidence. The Health Information Research Unit at McMaster University has established a process to identify high-quality medical research and has recruited a global network of thousands of physicians spanning all disciplines that evaluates the clinical relevance and newsworthiness of high quality research articles.
DynaMed is a point-of-care clinical reference and decision support resource that identifies the best available evidence. It uses a team of physicians, health professionals from other disciplines and scientists trained in research methodology to critically analyse the content. The resource summarises research evidence for rapid application and makes the information available for physicians to find in the moment-to-moment context of patient care.
It is expected that by combining these systematic and rigorous methods for identifying and analysing medical research and adding the vast array of practicing physicians, physicians using DynaMed will be able to quickly identify the practice-changing medical research results across all medical disciplines.
