Abstract
Mosby's Nursing Index
Highlights
Typical clinical decision support software requires a user to use textwords to describe symptoms and patient findings
VisualDx was first developed by Logical Images for pediatric, adult, and geriatric dermatologic conditions, which can be notoriously difficult for non-dermatologists to diagnose
A 1999 article found a significant difference in the diagnostic skills of dermatologists (93% correct), compared to primary care physicians (52% correct), when viewing images of the most common skin diseases (P Ͻ 0.001) [1]
Summary
Mosby’s Nursing Index is a new database from Elsevier that indexes nursing and allied health literature from 1995 to present It is international in scope and includes evidence-based practice, peer-reviewed journals, trade publications, and electronic-only titles. In the Advanced mode, searchers type their search terms in quotes, which enables the database to map common words to the EMTree list of topic headings This advice and other helpful search tips are printed on a green-capped side bar on each screen for quick access. When the tab is selected, a new search strategy is automatically entered in the search box and is ready to be run or edited This differs from databases in which the ‘‘related articles’’ link retrieves citations of topically similar articles. Most searchers will not realize the omissions and become frustrated when looking for an article they know to have been published
