DoD Health and Wellness Database

DoD Libraries require access to a database that provides current, general health information that covers diseases and conditions, drugs, diagnostics and tests, therapies, treatments, and surgery options. Health coverage should be highly comprehensive with access to peer-reviewed, full-text academic journals, magazines, periodicals, reports, books and videos. The database needs to have a discovery layer, the ability to sort by source types and publication date, subject thesaurus, and viewed in HTML or PDF.

Health documents should cover more than seventy-five (75) topic portals and offer reference, journal coverage, news, and peer reviews in full text. Customer convenience services should include online help, option to save, print, email, save search histories and results, streaming audios and videos, download, annotate, cite, and save available information. Access to information should be seamless, minimal response time between query initiation and query results, and search results within 5-10 seconds.
