DynaMed includes information on drugs and conditions. It has clinically-organized summaries for more than 3,200 topics that are in an outline form that can be used efficiently in clinical settings. DynaMed is updated daily and monitors the content of over 500 medical journals and systematic evidence review databases directly and indirectly by using many journal review services. 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 representing a synthesis of the best available evidence. Through this process of systematic literature surveillance, the best available evidence determines the content of DynaMed. You can click on “recently updated” to see the entries that have been modified today and learn what was changed.
You may wish to click on “Weekly Update” periodically to read the latest update or sign up for the free weekly email. Prepared by the clinician members of the DynaMed Editorial Team, DynaMed Weekly Update is a compilation of blurbs about one to five articles selected from DynaMed’s Systematic Literature Surveillance as articles most likely to change clinical practice. This source will be helpful for finding articles for a journal club.
