Dear AW Rehab Professionals:


Welcome to Ascension Wisconsin Library Services!


           

Michele Matucheski, MLS, AHIP 

with support from Mary Hyde, MSLS, AHIP


We are your Medical Librarians for Ascension Wisconsin.   

Allow me to give you a tour of Library Services.

Feel free to add this link to your Favorites/Bookmarks.  This website offers the same content statewide.  

Good Day Ascension > Ministry Markets > Wisconsin 

We offer a New Issue Alerts / eTOC current awareness service so you can keep up with your favorite professional journals.  Just let me know what titles you’re interested in.  For each new issue, you’ll get an email with links to the current full-text articles.  


Rehabilitation Guide – a Guide filled with tools and sources that will be most helpful to a busy Rehab Professional, including  eBooks, eJournals, patient education, professional development and more.     Consider adding this LibGuide to your Favorites.


Clinical References: Physician & Provider ToolBox – a Guide filled with tools and sources that will be most helpful to a busy Physician, including  sources for point-of-care, drug info, diagnosis tools, access to over 1400 eBooks, full-text articles, patient education, and more.     You may want to consider adding this page to your Favorites/Bookmarks as well. 


DynaMed is a physician point-of-care reference tool offering answers to clinical questions.  Content is written by a team of physicians and researchers who synthesize the evidence and provide objective analysis.  It offers clinically organized summaries for more than 3,200 topics.   Also includes drug info.             

          See also: The DynaMed Search Tips page.


 

Clinical Key with Clinical Overviews and Procedures Consult

There’s also a Search Tips Page for Clinical Key, filled with useful articles, tutorials and videos to help you get the most out of it.   Consider signing up for a personal account with remote access for added functionality.

                Clinical Overviews are similar to UptoDate, by offering review articles on 1400 primary care topics, including current evidence, treatment and dosing info, and more.

                ProceduresConsult is like YouTube for Medicine.  It’s great if you need to review a procedure before you have to do it.  It provides a web video, along with a complete write-up of the procedure, including coding info.

                Clinical Key includes 1100+ medical eBooks, and 500+ eJournals.  

                  > The most useful CK eBooks are called out on the Rehab LibGuide under the Books Tab.  


Elsevier Clinical Key Skills (aka Clinical Key for Nursing) is a point-of-care tool for Nursing and Allied Health (including Rehabilitation!) that includes:

  • eBooks
  • eJournals
  • Clinical Overviews
  • Over 2000 Nursing & Allied Health (including 141 Rehabilitation) Skills
  •      > CEUs are available through MyLearning
  • Drug Identifier - Adverse Reactions, Drug Interactions
  • Labs - with normal values and nursing implications

Elsevier ClinicalKey Skills is considered an excellent source-of-truth for current nursing skills & procedures.  After your local policies, Nursing Skills should be the go-to reference that will help you provide consistent and highly reliable care across Ascension nation-wide.  


Icons / Links for Elsevier ClinicalKey Skills should be on all AW desktops, and linked within the EHRs and local intranets as well as the AW Library pages. 



 

Let me know if we can be of any help to you.  If you want an in-depth look at any of our resources, we would be happy to give you a personalized tour.  Let me know if you want to schedule something.

 

Your AW Medical Librarian,

Michele
