Ratings and reviews

In comparison to other resources that claim to be up to date, this is superior. I love the explanation of the data and the guidlines. The format is simple to follow. The alerts for practice changing papers is also wonderful. The only downside is that this doesn't have a lot of information on the more bizarre and rare conditions.

This is actually very good. In many ways, I like DynaMed much better then UpToDate except for the times I truly want to dig into minutiae, but at that point I'm often referencing professional society publications. I really appreciate how most articles have a near-universal structure. Occasionally, the app freezes when I first open it, and I have to force close it. This is the reason for the 4 stars.

Difficult to navigate on phone, it's in an outline form, not easily searchable, not easy to find clinical "answers" rapidly. It's very much an app the refers you to original resources-you literally have to read thru original references, and "figure things out" yourself. When you need answers quickly, DynaMed is not the place to search. It's easier to search Google.

What’s new

Find answers faster with section-level search results. If your search is best answered by a specific section, you'll see a link that goes there directly. Try searching for "COPD management" to see an example.

This one's for MDM Administrators: If your organization is using mobile device management and single sign-on, you can use a new configuration option to give clinicians one-tap access to the sign in screen that's right for them. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to set this up.
