The simplest way to search STAT!Ref is to enter
the search term into the field at the top of the
page and click the Search button.

STAT!Ref will look for your search term in every
title and searchable resource you subscribe to
and present you with a list of the Results found.
4
There are five STAT!Ref filters that display
under the heading All STAT!Ref Results. They are
Codes, Drug Information, Patient Information,
Point of Care and Titles By Discipline.
Filters are pre-defined groupings of titles
that logically fit together. Whether a filter is
visible or not depends upon the titles in your
subscription and whether or not the filter is
relevant to the search.
5
The Titles By Discipline filter has a number of
sub-filters, which are groupings of titles by
their primary discipline.
6
If you are only interested in drug information
click on the Drug Information filter. The Results
list will change to reflect only those titles
that relate to the selected filter. The titles
that are associated with a filter display below
it. If you want drug information from a
specific source, such as Mosbys, click on that
title and your Results list will change to
reflect only Mosbys Drug Consult. To return to
the original state of your Results just click the
All STAT!Ref Results filter.

In addition to searching its titles, STAT!Ref
also searches other resources, such as MedCalc
3000, the National Guideline Clearinghouse and
PubMed. Results for these resources display
under Additional Resources. Click on the
resource you are interested in viewing and
STAT!Ref will launch that resource in a separate
browser window and execute the search for you.

If you click on the MedCalc 3000 link, under
Additional Resources, it will launch MedCalc
3000 in a separate browser window with the term

searched will display under Related terms.

search for that specific term or click on the
Add All Related Terms link at the bottom of the
list to your search using all related terms.
