I just dont have the time to read all that when I just want a quick answer at the point of care. bmj clinical evidence does this for me, plus you know its 100% based on evidence, I am not sure uptodate isAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-82166956434139213332007-08-08T17:40:00.000-04:002007-08-08T17:40:00.000-04:00I am biased... but just so you know what you are g...I am biased... but just so you know what you are getting with Dynamed, it is written by almost all AAFP physicians, even residents (see their authors list). As for "Best Evidence", can someone who is not a specialist really determine what the "Best Evidence" is AND put together a treatment plan based soley on "that evidence"??? I'll take someone who KNOWS what the evidence means AND (to steal from Cicso) incorporates the HUMAN ELEMENT into the process. Also, UTD is all PEER REVIEWED, and the ENTIRE database is reviewed and updated every 4 months. How often is that done with Dynamed? Everyday???

So their choice point of care resource isn't really at the point of care (within the EMR).

I don't know how useful eMedicine would be for residents, but for me, as a lowly MS2, it's a great source of information. So is the Merck Manual on my PDA. I've also heard from MS3's that 5-Minute Clinical Consult (also for the PDA) is essential. I haven't tried UpToDate yet, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
