PURPOSE Clinicians need evidence in a format that rapidly answers their questions. DynaMed is a database of synthesized evidence. We investigated whether primary care clinicians would answer more clinical questions, change clinical decision making, and alter search time using DynaMed in addition to their usual information sources.Keywords
