MICROMEDEX Point of Care Solution gets quick answers

MICROMEDEX includes comprehensive drug, acute care, and toxicology information for point-of-care use by doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Now MICROMEDEX provides even faster access to point-of-care data through the “Point of Care Solution” feature, which offers:

  • Fewer clicks to get to the answer you need
  • No lengthy documents to scan
  • Seamless searching across content areas without re-entering search terms
  • Spelling help

To reach the “Point of Care Solution,” first click the “Thompson Healthcare Evidence/Healthcare Series” button on the MCROMEDEX home page. On the next page, click the “Switch to Point of Care Interface” link in the upper right corner of the screen.
The Library’s MICROMEDEX license restricts use to authorized UT Southwestern faculty, staff, students, and contractors who are trained or training in the fields for which the products are being utilized.
