NeoFax is a newly-added information resource designed to help clinicians and pharmacists accurately prescribe, formulate, and admininster essential drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions for infants.
Since commercially-available drugs are not tested on infants in the United States, more than 90 percent of drugs prescribed to infants are off-label. By providing complete neonatal drug information covering more than 180 substances, NeoFax help reduce medication errors and decreases time spent ordering and compounding.
Access this new resource on the Library Web site by using the “Search for” box, or from the UT Southwestern Clinical Portal page. Internet Explorer is the required browser; no other browsers are certified for this product. The Library license restricts use to UT Southwestern faculty, staff, students and contractors who are trained in the field for which the product is being utilized.

Need information to make a treatment decision? MD Consult can get you answers fast! MD Consult offers various routes to the desired information:
First Consult—a subset of MD Consult—lets you search an alphabetical list of disorders. For each disorder, you can click on a tab to select:

• Medical Topics (a succinct overview of the disorder)
• Differential Diagnosis
• Procedures

In addition to FirstConsult, another time-saving MD Consult feature is pre-researched “recommended results” on 200 common medical topics. These results link to textbook discussions on essential aspects of the topic.
MD Consult also offers a search box for keyword searching.
MD Consult’s comprehensive collection of information resources includes access to:

• Full text of more than 50 leading medical textbooks
• Over 50,000 high-quality images
• Extensive drug information provided by Gold Standard
• Full-text articles from 35 “Clinics” journals and over 50 other journals
• Patient education handouts in English and Spanish
• And more…see the MD Consult welcome page for details

MD Consult offers the advantage of being accessible directly from off-campus, as well as on-campus, once the user has established a user name and password. (This feature is only available to UT Southwestern affiliates.) Most other Library electronic resources can be accessed from off-campus only via Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Find MD Consult on the Library Web site by using the “Quick Links” drop down menu (on the left side bar). If you have questions about MD Consult, contact Emily Patridge by email or by phone at 214-645-6065.
