Dynamed
Tue, February 16, 2010 2:00PM - 3:00PM
DynaMed is a clinical reference tool designed for use primarily at the point of care, providing clinically-organized summaries of nearly 2,000 topics. DynaMed is updated daily and monitors the content of over 500 medical journals and systematic evidence review databases. Each publication is reviewed cover-to-cover, and each article is evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity. The new evidence is then integrated with existing content, and overall conclusions are changed as appropriate, providing a synthesis of the best available evidence.
