RESOURCE CANCELLATION : ACP Smart Medicine

By wp_aedile September 15, 2016

The point of care database ACP Smart Medicine formerly provided by Stat!Ref is no longer available. Unfortunately, this resource is no longer available via any provider that the Library can use.

SUGGESTED ALTERNATIVES – The Library suggests that users explore UptoDate or the First Consult component of Clinical Key as an alternative to ACP Smart Medicine. Each is a very extensive clinical point of care resource. First Consult is available as a search option within Clinical Key or can be used to filter results after searching it, but the simplest method to access it is as a mobile app.

MOBILE ALTERNATIVES : Each of these resources has a mobile app available. The First Consult app provided by Clinical Key can be used while offline. UptoDate requires an active connection.

How to get the First Consult App :

  1. You must first create a personal account within Clinical Key
  2. Open Clinical Key
  3. At the top right of the Clinical Key page, click Register to create a personal account
  4. On your iOS or Android device, visit the App or Google Play store
  5. Search for “First Consult” and install the free First Consult app on your device
