DSAMH staff have access to the following resources: 
Athens - Athens allows remote access to most of the resources listed below for everyone affiliated with 
DelMIRA member institutions. Go here: https://register.athensams.net/delmira/ to register for remote 
access for these resources. 

CINAHL - Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature. 

DynaMed – a point-of-care tool, DynaMed provides evidence-based topic reviews on nearly 2,000 disease 
specific topics. DynaMed is updated daily, and also includes patient education handouts. 

Health Business Elite Full Text – a database created specifically for healthcare administrators, Health 
Business Elite contains full text content from over 450 journals, some dating as far back as 1965. 

MDConsult – is a cross-searchable compendium of over 50 textbooks in a wide array of disciplines, as 
well as over 100 journals, patient education handouts, drug information and current medical news. 
Physicians also have the opportunity to gain CME credits by utilizing MDConsult. 
MEDLINE - the premiere index of biomedical literature produced by the National Library of Medicine. 
New England Journal of Medicine – provides full text online access to the most current issue, plus full 
text back to 1993. Also included are procedure videos and the ability to download audio files of certain 
articles to an iPod or a PDA. 

Nursing Reference Center - point-of-care resource intended for staff nurses, nurse administrators, 
nursing students, nurse faculty, and hospital librarians. 

OVID Electronic Journals – participants chose approximately ten titles that most closely fit individual 
hospital specialties. Available titles include Annals of Internal Medicine, American Journal of Medicine, 
and Circulation. 

Psychiatry Online – user-friendly resource with several full text journals, textbooks, and books, focused 
on the topics within the behavioral health field. Also provides patient and family information, and self-
learning assessments. Only available (at this point) while on the Herman Holloway campus at 
http://psychiatryonline.com. In the near future, will be available through Athens. 

 

STAT!Ref – cross-searchable compendium of approximately 25 mostly-nursing related textbook titles. 
Also includes access to ACP PIER. Produced by the American Academy of Physicians, PIER (Physicians' 
Information and Education Resource) is a Web-based decision-support tool designed for rapid point-of-
care delivery of up-to-date, evidence-based guidance for clinicians. Information in PIER is presented in a 
"drill down" format, in which the user clicks from an opening guidance statement through to more 
specific information. 
TDNet - provides "one-stop-shopping" for print and electronic journal holdings. Search by journal title, 
see your institution's print and electronic holdings, link to the full text, or link to the table of contents. 
VisualDX - visual clinical decision support software. VisualDX provides instant access to over 16,000 
images that can help diagnose more than 900 visually identifiable diseases, drug reactions, or 
infections. Although VisualDX is not a resource available as part of the DelMIRA package, it is promoted 
here because the Delaware Division of Public Health has purchased a three-year license for every 
hospital in Delaware.
