Key
Features & Benefits
STAT!Ref
- is
available via the Internet, corporate intranet and on CD-ROM for
single users or network applications.
Quick
searches -
The software enables users to perform quick, full text searches.
Results are displayed in a format resembling a book. Users can
look up anything they could find in a large, science library including
detailed tables and graphics.
Save
time
- STAT!Ref is a time saver, providing clinically important information
in full text format, in the minimum amount of time. The product
easily and quickly finds answers pertaining to diagnosis, treatments,
drug interactions and uses and patient referrals. Having STAT!Ref
provides a knowledge-based information system that is current,
authoritative and available to everyone who needs it.
Advance
usage reports
- Reports may be configured by clients and scheduled to run
at specified intervals: daily, weekly or monthly. The results
are saved on our server for later retrieval and may also be
emailed to the person who wants the report.
Sophisticated
cascading search capabilities
- A new search feature has been added to STAT!Ref Online. We call
this new feature Cascading Search. It is intended to find the
best possible match for a search phrase with a minimum of user
activity. Cascade searches will run at decreasing proximity settings
until a match is found. Searches will try first to find a match
with ordered adjacency, then adjacency, near/5, near/10, near25,
near/50, and, or until a match is found. (A match is one or more
matching documents).
Improved
help system
- The help system is now fully searchable. Additionally, help
icons have been added to many items in the STAT!Ref Online pages.
Clicking an icon will automatically search the help system for
information on the item. We call this "context sensitive help".
Clicking a help icon will take you to help topics related to
the page and item that help is launched from.
Immediate
loading of documents
- Large documents are retrieved and sent in sections rather
than waiting to send the entire document at once, allowing for
citations to be delivered very quickly when retrieving documents
to read.

Access
by multiple authentications or means
- A new user authentication option allows either IP address or username
to be used to authenticate a user for the single hosted institution.
This allows users at your facility to connect automatically via
their IP address or offsite with a username and password.
Improved
Dictionary Interface and Spell Checker -
The Stedman's Dictionary table of contents is now fully navigable
and keywords are searchable as always.
Improved
spell checking help
- If the user enters a term that is not found in any of their available
titles, STAT!Ref Online will now suggest the most probable intended
words, from the words indexed in their available titles. The previous
version simply showed an alphabetical list of indexed words closest
in alphabetical spelling to the word entered.
Unlimited

- STAT!Ref has no limit to the number of titles that you may subscribe
to. We currently offer more than 35 texts to choose from and will
be adding new titles on a regular basis.
