Point of Care Resources for Nursing
Point of Care resources are used to quickly make evidence-based decisions in a clinical setting. They are examples of filtered information sources and include summaries, with links to relevant articles and guidelines, and are often graded for quality. We have a guide that lists mobile Apps for Physicians and Medical Students and includes instructions on accessing mobile apps for MSU-subscribed point of care tools, journals/readers, textbooks/study tools, terminology and translation, calculators, and multimedia.
