A.D.A.M. Consumer Health Information Available in MD Consult

By now many of you know that, beginning in July, we will no longer offer access to the A.D.A.M. Quick Sheets Patient Education / Consumer Health Information.

We are happy to inform you that, even though the A.D.A.M. Quick Sheets will be discontinued, you’ll be able to get the same content in the Patient Education section of MD Consult.

In addition to offering identical A.D.A.M. content, you can also personalize patient handouts if you create an account in MD Consult. (Check the library website for instructions.)


Please contact Michele at Mercy Medical Center (223-0342) or Margo at
St. Elizabeth Hospital (738-2324) if you would like more information about setting up an MD Consult account or for help locating ADAM Patient Education information in MD Consult.

New Links for CAMH Manual and Joint Commission Resources

In order to make it easier to find the Joint Commission Resources, we’ve added a few additional links to the Affinity Libraries Home Page.

1) Look for a new link for The Joint Commission CAMH Manual on the Library Web Home Page in the center column. Since this requires a username and password, we wanted the description to be visible.

2) We also added a link to Joint Commission Resources in the Most Popular Column on the right-hand side. This page also contains a link for the CAMH Manual above.

To Get to the Affinity Library Webpage,
Affinity Intranet > Library

On the Library home page, scroll down the page to see the new links for the Joint Commission.




Contact Michele Matucheski at 3-0340 with questions or suggestions.
