Re: Re: uptodate.com andother resources

[Guest guest]

No librarian on staff. H**l, our 'physicians lounge' has a TV, refrigerator and two chairs. Oh yes, and an entrance to 'Health Information " . Our pharmacy dept has gotten Lexicomp. It was better a few years ago, but they have pared down to offerings. It is still a reasonable resource and the only thing that our hospital has done to help the doctors access medical information!

and I mean I get this stuff over the internet even when I am at home through the hospital site this is a very important thing for IMPS running on a shoe string needing access to information at the point of care who may not realize this benefit could exist in your community

And I am on staff at two hospitals due to preceptoing down at the residency AND the other hospital has OTHER resources I c an sign in to.librarians are full of valuable info if you ask them they get you stuff.,yes?

Just a questionMAYbe my situation is unusual DO none of you have hospitals that get you up to date and other things for the price of your staff dues?

I can read the new england JOurnal of medicine freeI get up to date.comI get all kinds of stuff From t he hospital libraryHave you guys talked to your librarian?

Thanks!Do you have a personal subscription?Do you think the expense is worth it? For the CME?I personally regard it as a superb resource, I have access through my hospitals and wonder if I should invest in it for my personal use (the hospital access is only through their intranet).

I understand. We only have a lounge because our administrator decided that he needed to build a pretty hospital before he retired. I didn't get a key to the OB call room for a year afterwards. Ahhh, politics :-)

If you are a community preceptor for students you can often get those resources even though you never go to the hospital, etc. I don't have hospital privileges anywhere but I can log in through the family practice department.
