Peer reply Jenea Resources are an important part of daily practice. Identify and describe two resources you have seen being used in clinics that are helpful in determining diagnosis, assessment or treatment plans. Citation and reference required. Obtaining the best diagnosis and medical treatment for each individual patient can be a daunting task. Many symptoms are linked to so many different diagnoses that if not careful patients could be treated for a diagnosis that they do not have. Health care providers consistently depend on advanced drug information resources to attest knowledge or proactively verify the safety and efficacy of medications. While all patient care areas are of great significance, the reliability of these resources is perhaps nowhere as imperative as it is in high-acuity settings, including the emergency department and the intensive care unit (Lang et al, 2020). As providers look to find adjunctive analgesics for acute pain in these areas, they have to be able to rely on the truth to whichever resource their institution has granted access.Two resources I have seen being used in clinics that are helpful in determining diagnosis, assessment or treatment plans are the Dynamedex and Micromedex. In the facility where I am precepting, Premium Healthcare Center, these two resources have been collaborated into one system, Watson, which allows clinicians to have the best of both worlds in one spot (Cooper & Scanlon, 2020). Watson combines the medical professional proficiency and organized information of DynaMed with the medication information and standard language exploring capabilities of IBM Micromedex (Cooper & Scanlon, 2020). DynaMed is an evidenced-based clinical information resource designed to give the most useful information to clinicians at the moment of care and can be accessed on any device (Cooper & Scanlon, 2020). Micromedex is a cataloging database that provides access to unbiased, referenced full- text tertiary literature about drugs, toxicology, disease, acute care and alternative medicine (Lang et al., 2020).

It is a scholarly website that is written and reviewed regularly by the most knowledgeable scholars on the specific topic. I think the cite is easy to navigate and understand. There is a search portion where you can type in a specific symptom, topic, medication, ect and it pulls up the articles containing pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, treatment options, first line recommendations, and educational materials for patients. It is not a library that has specific published studies. It is what the leading guidelines are after those studies have been evaluated. I like how it often

will mention what older practices were and what some common treatments that aren’t backed up by evidence are. There is an app that can be downloaded on your phone for convenience of quick resource. I love it and use it every day for school, in clinicals, and even when I am just working and want to learn mor about something. There are obviously other scholarly resources, but I’d say my second go to is to ask my colleagues. They have had more clinical experience than me and have so much valuable information to share. I have such a supportive system where I work and do clinicals. They are happy to do quick consults and share their experiences with me. McVary, K. (2022).
