As part of Carpenter Library’s ongoing commitment to improve the quality of care we provide to our patients, we are pleased to announce that clinicians can access UpToDate directly through Centricity and Carecast and earn continuing education credit each time you research a question in UpToDate. See the UpToDate website for more information and frequently-asked questions.
- From Centricity, use the “Lookup Problems” drop-down selection for UpToDate.
- In Carecast, use the UpToDate button in the lower right of the base screen.
Each time you research a question using UpToDate through Centricity or Carecast, you earn .5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Several other types of CME credit are also available. Credit is accrued automatically. To see how many credits you have earned, select CME from the navigation bar in UpToDate. You may process your credits online and print your certificate at any time.
It’s important to remember that to earn CME/CE contact hours, you must access UpToDate through the patient record and you must register with UpToDate. Read the UpToDate CME Brochure(PDF) for more information.
If you have questions about how to access UpToDate please contact Julie James at Carpenter Library jujames@wfubmc.edu. If you have questions about how to use UpToDate, please contact UpToDate’s Customer Service Department at 1-800-998-6374.
