As of Jan.11, 2006, Affinity access to MDConsult is now via IP Authentication. This means that you no longer need a username or password to access MDConsult from an Affinity computer.
This should simplify access for the occasional user who just wants to do a quick reference check in the online medical books, online journals, drug info, practice guidelines, or patient education handouts that comprise the MDConsult collection.
Everyone who previously registered for MDConsult through Affinity will still be able to access their personal account. On the MDConsult-Affinity page, look for “Click for Personal Login” on the upper right-hand side.
New to MDConsult? If Access is via IP, why should I register?
We recommend that you register for a Personal Login if:
- You want to access MDConsult outside Affinity (remote access at home, at the coffee shop, on vacation, etc. …)
- You want to personalize the Patient Handouts
- You want to use the PDA Resources
A step-by-step, detailed guide with screen shots on How to Register for MDConsult is available online.
