Clinical Tools: A Quick Connection to the Evidence

Seeking quick and reliable answers to your clinical questions? Look no further than the Library’s Clinical Tools page! Here you will find a handy list of links to point-of-care resources, decision-support tools, core eBooks, guidelines, and patient education information.

Some of these include:

  • DynaMed, which provides evidence-based clinical information concerning diseases, drugs, and other therapies that is highly useful when making decisions about patient care.
  • VisualDx, a clinical point-of-care tool, educational resource, and decision support system that is renowned for its depth of diverse clinical images. 
  • You'll also find a search widget box with the ability to craft a single search for your patient’s problem/intervention and easily review results from multiple clinical tools including: UpToDate, ACP Journal Club, Cochrane Library, ClinicalKey, Lexidrug, PubMed, & Medline Plus.
  • Many more point-of-care tools, including the familiar UpToDate and the drug resource Lexidrug.

 An excellent complement to our Clinical Tools page is the Mobile Apps guide.
