Goodbye MDConsult - Hello Clinical Key


Some of you may know that Elsevier is retiring the popular resource MDConsult as of December 31, 2014, and replacing it with a much more comprehensive tool called Clinical Key. Ministry Health Care made the decision to add Clinical Key to our suite of databases and resources.  It is currently available as a free trial until our subscription officially begins January 2015. 
Clinical Key can be accessed through the Library Intranet site (aka The Library without Walls), or our A-Z database list.  We will be working to add additional links via the EMRs and The Source after our subscription officially starts. 
For now, feel free to test-drive Clinical Key during our free trial transition period.
ClinicalKey’s offerings include:
  •           over 500 journals
  •          over 1000 textbooks
  •          “FirstConsult” point-of-care clinical consults (similar to UptoDate)
  •          Procedures Consult
  •     Patient Education 
  •          Drug monographs from Clinical Pharmacology
  •          over 13,000 medical and surgical videos
  •          millions of images that may be added to presentations
  •          over 2,000 practice guidelines
