Easier Remote Access for Clinical Key


Clinical Key just made it easier to sign up for Remote Access.  With this simple registration, you'll be able to access Clinical Key from home, an internet cafĂ©, or anywhere you have internet access.

Below are the steps with screen shots for 2 scenarios :
A) If you already set up a Clinical Key personal account/user profile, or
B) If you have not yet registered for a Clinical Key personal account.

*  If you have previously registered for Clinical Key remote access using a registration ID and password, there is no need to register again.

A) If You Already Have a Clinical Key Personal Account/User Profile:
1. To activate remote access, click Login at the top of ClinicalKey.
From the Login page, click the link under Remote Access Activation.

2. From the Login page, click the link under Remote Access Activation.



3. Enter the email address associated with user profile and click Continue. 
ClinicalKey displays an activation message and sends a confirmation email.

4. After entering your email address into the Remote Access Activation registration bar and click continue, you will receive a confirmation email.  You will need to click the link within the email to officially start your remote access. 
  • This will grant 180 days of remote access. 
  •  Prior to the end of the 180 days, you will need to log into their ClinicalKey personal account/user profile while on your institution’s IP.  This will extend your access another 180 days. 
  • Should their remote access expire, you will need to follow the above steps to re-activate remote access.


B. If you Do NOT Have Personal Account/User Profile:
1. Go to www.ClinicalKey.com and click Register in the top right corner.

2. Using the email address associated with your institution (ie, your work email : such as name@affinityhealth.org OR name@ministryhealth.org), fill in the required information on the registration page.  Please note : Free emails like gmail, yahoo, and hotmail will not be accepted for remote access.  
3. Click Register when finished. ClinicalKey will display an activation message and send a confirmation email.
4. In the Confirmation email, click the link to officially start your remote access to Clinical Key.
  • This will grant 180 days of remote access.
  • Prior to the end of the 180 days, you will need to log into your ClinicalKey personal account/user profile while on your institution’s IP. This will extend your access another 180 days.
  • Should your remote access expire, you will need to follow the above steps to re-activate your remote access.

Links & Citations in Nursing Reference Center (NRC) – A Tutorial



People often ask me how to get a permalink and/or citations for documents in Nursing Reference Center.    This question comes up regularly when people want to :
  • share NRC documents
  • cite them in policies / procedures
  • cite them in papers or
  • CBTs
  • or other venues
  • or go back to them later
Unfortunately, people soon discover the url harvested from the browser location box times out and leads to an error message after a few short hours.  This tutorial on getting permalinks and citations in NRC should simplify the process, and save you time and frustration.

This tutorial is also included on our  NRC Support Page  (if you need it in future) along with other helpful tips for using NRC.

Affinity Library Intranet Page to be retired April 30, 2015 : Use the Ministry Library without Walls Instead



The old Affinity Library Intranet Page will be retired April 30, 2015. 

Why the change?
  • EM3, the content management system that Affinity has used for years is no longer being supported by its creators, and has been increasingly “unstable.”
  • Since the merger with Ministry Health Care in 2012, we’ve been working behind the scenes to make sure we offer the SAME library resources  throughout  Ministry and Affinity.   Over the last few years, we’ve slowly been making changes “under the hood” to codify and unify Library offerings.  You may already be using some of our new LibGuide pages.
  • This fits into the idea of One Ministry with one Library Services Department to serve the whole system of Ministry Health Care (including Affinity). 
  •  Rest assured : You’ll still be able to access your favorite Library resources (Nursing Reference Center, Clinical Key, Access Medicine, Nursing Standards LibGuide, your favorite eJournals, and more …).
  • Additionally, your Librarians will still be available to support the work you do by providing articles, and full-text access, research, and training—as usual.
  • The physical library at Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh remains  The Resource Library for ALL of Ministry Health Care, with Michele Matucheski as your Librarian.    Only the intranet website is changing. 

What to use instead?
·          Use the Ministry Library without Walls as the Library Intranet  Home Page.
·         


How to get there?
·         The Source > Links and Resources > Search for Library > Click on “Library without Walls”
·      

Handy Tip :  Why not add the Library without Walls to your favorite links in The Source?
