Library Support for Clinicians and Healthcare Providers To assist clinicians, nurses, and allied health professionals learn how to access evidence-based practice information, the medical librarians offer tailored orientations and instructional sessions that cover how to locate and retrieve high quality resources and studies. Clinical Resources This year, the medical librarians identified, procured, and curated additional online resources to support the practice of evidence-based medicine (listed below). Furthermore, the librarians also made clinically useful journals accessible from the One Search portal.
Many hours were devoted toward the research and selection process of making available full text journals from the Ovid collection.
New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) peer-reviewed publications • Artificial Intelligence (AI) • Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery • Evidence • Guideline and Journal Watch (all specialties) For drug information, the addition of Sanford Guide, a point-of-care resource for the treatment of infectious diseases is highly used by clinicians and pharmacists.

In addition, the One Search Portal includes a comprehensive listing of continuing education resources provided by Sutter Health, One Search - Discover, and free options available on the Internet.
