Point-of-Care Tools Answer Your Clinical Questions: DynaMed and NRC Plus

To support excellence and high reliability in clinical care, Ascension provides two point-of-care tools for all our ministries across the US:

• Dynamed is geared for physicians 

• Nursing Reference Center Plus is for nurses, PCAs and allied health staff. 

Both of these tools are evidence-based and continually updated with new knowledge. 

They can answer your clinical questions quickly, reliably, whenever and wherever you need information. Both provide free continuing education credits. 

You can access these tools in a number of ways: 

• From the Ascension Wisconsin Library website 
• Through the EHRs 
• App for your mobile device (free download) 
• Shortcut link to NRC Plus set up on all Ascension computer desktops 
• Password access from anywhere (Set this up from an Ascension Wisconsin computer, so they know you fall under our license.)
