Those of you who attended the May Clinical Conference in Stevens Point on Patient Safety will recognize these two authors.

Both speakers are excellent and engaging storytellers who are committed to improving patient care, safety and the workplace environment. <br />

Affinity once again has access to <strong><em>The Advisory Board</em></strong> through the Ministry Health Care Membership.<br />

<strong><em>The Advisory Board</em></strong> provides online access to the research and services of The Advisory Board for Affinity and Ministry Colleagues. <br />
<br />
This includes full-text access to reports on best practices, leadership development, technology assessment and planning, tools and analytics for the healthcare industry. Implementation kits and technology briefs summarize latest findings to assist decision making on adoption of new technology and much more ...<br />

<br /><strong><a href="; target="_blank">Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database</a></strong> (NMCD) and <strong><a href="; target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Natural Standard</span></a></strong> both provide evidence-based practice info on herbs, supplements, and natural medicines (ie Gingko or St. Johns Wort). <br />
<br />
For the past few years, Affinity has been using <strong><a href="; target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Natural Medicines</span></a></strong> (NMCD) for this type of integrative medicine info. Our current access runs through March 2, 2013. In an effort to standardize library resources across Ministry and Affinity Health Systems, NMCD will be replaced with <a href="; target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #990000;">Natural Standard</span></strong></a> (new)<strong>,</strong> which is what Ministry Health Care is currently using. We will have a few weeks with access to both resources to help make a smooth transition. <a href="; target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #990000;">Natural Standard</span></strong></a> (new) seems to offer even more info than NMCD!<br />
<br />
• <strong><a href="; target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Natural Standard</span></a></strong> offers quick access to comprehensive, evidence-based, peer-reviewed information on foods, herbs, supplements and natural therapies. Reviews include interactions, adverse effects, allergies, efficacy, pregnancy/lactation data and mechanism of action. English, French and Spanish Patient Handouts are available.<br />
<br />
Natural Standard will be in just about the same places as NMCD is on the Library Website. <br />

<br />
<strong>Try it now :</strong> <a href="; target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Natural Standard</span></a><span style="color: #990000;"> </span><br />
Training Webinars and Demonstrations are available <a href="; target="_blank">here</a>. <br /> Archives of past training webinars can be viewed at any time.<br />

If you need to review the clinical journal literature, or just need specific articles, let your Librarian help. <a href="; target="_blank">PubMed</a>/Medline Phobia? I can help you make informed decisions with the best evidence!<br />
<br />
<br />
• Use the online <a href="; target="_blank">Literature Search Request</a> form to tell me what you’re looking for. I’ll run the search in Medline, <a href="; target="_blank">PubMed</a>, <a href="; target="_blank">Cochrane</a>, <a href="; target="_blank">CINAHL</a> (or other appropriate databases) and give you a list of article citations that match your search criteria.<br />
<br />
• <b>Want specific articles?</b> Send me the citations via email, fax or this <a href="; target="_blank">Article Request Form</a>, and I’ll send you the articles. In most cases, I can email you PDFs of articles, [following the Fair Use provision of US Copyright]. We have access to over <a href="; target="_blank">10,000 online journals</a>. If we don’t have it, we can usually get it for you, at no cost to you. <br />
<br />
• Don’t forget our collection of <a href="; target="_blank">Lean</a>, and <a href="; target="_blank">Studer Group Management and Leadership</a> books. <br />
<br />
• Make an appointment to learn how to efficiently and effectively search Medline, <a href="; target="_blank">PubMed</a>, or <a href="; target="_blank">Cinahl</a>. I offer training on these specific databases as well as a personalized library orientation geared to your interests and information needs. <br />

The MMC Library has 1 year's worth of 2009 AudioDigest CDs available for FREE. Although these audioCDs are too old to apply for CE credits, they do still offer excellent information for Physicians, PAs, Nurses, and other health professionals.<br />

Look for them on the used book sale table. Come early. These are HOT items! <br />
<br />
Too far from Mercy? No sweat! I'm willing to inter-office a selection of 10-15 audio CDs anywhere within Affinity. Just tell me which series you're interested in. <br />
<br />
Why are we giving them away?<br />
--limited shelving space for audiovisuals<br />
--CE credits are available only for 3 years since date of publication<br />
--Our libraries emphasize the most up-to-date info, so we want to make room for more recent issues.<br />
-- Newer (current) editions are available on AudioCD and MP3 files that can be downloaded to your computer or MP3 player. Contact Michele Matucheski for more details on accessing the AudioDigest MP3 files from your desktop. <br />
