new e-resource: DynaMed Plus

DynaMed Plus now available!

Over 3,200 disease and patient care summaries for clinicians. Plus drug information!  

The summaries are written and reviewed by physicians and researchers, mostly useful to nursing but also will be interesting to instructors and students in kinesiology, nutrition, audiology (CSD), genetic counseling, and possibly psychology.  

DynaMed Plus is linked in the databases list and in my libguides.   We'll have access to this database through July 2019.

Here's a 3 minute video from Ebsco and highlights from their promo materials. 




Critically appraised evidence from more than 500 medical journals in a quick, easy-to-read format.  
  • Content updated 24/7/365
  • Concise, evidence-based recommendations with supporting references
  • Clinically organized topics designed to get to the answer quickly
  • Key points on the background, evaluation and management of a condition presented at the top of each topic
  • "Levels of Evidence" labels make it easy to identify the best available evidence
  •  Synthesized recommendations classified using GRADE
  • Drug and lab reference content provided by Micromedex® 
  • Ability to sign up for alerts when a topic or specialty area is updated with new evidence and guidelines 
  •  Free mobile app available on Android and iOS platforms  

 Cheers,
Lea
