IPSWICH, Mass. — March 3, 2016 — To ensure that physicians have access to the most current and relevant, evidence-based information available, EBSCO Health is partnering with Duodecim to include German guidelines in DynaMed Plus mit EbM Guidelines™. German users of DynaMed Plus™ will now be able to search for relevant guidelines in German and link out to DynaMed Plus for the latest information on a particular disease or treatment.

The EbM Guidelines from Duodecim are created by Finnish, German and Austrian physicians and edited by a German editorial board. By using DynaMed Plus mit EbM Guidelines, German-speaking users can search and receive results in German, and then link to the relevant topic in DynaMed Plus. This integration will give physicians access to nearly 1,000 primary care practice guidelines and more than 4,300 high-quality evidence summaries supporting the given recommendations as well as more than 4,500 DynaMed Plus topics, including overviews, recommendations, graphics, images, drug content and more.
