STAT!Ref Agreement going ahead
-----------------------------------
Eduserv Chest is pleased to announce that the Agreement for STAT!Ref, the Electronic Medical Library from Teton Data Systems, is going ahead from 1st August 2004. This is a 2 year agreement with access to a number of core medical references, in full text book format with tables and graphics, such as Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, Hurst's the Heart and PIER (Physicians' Information and Education Resource) the American College of Physician's electronic, evidence-based guide designed to improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
This agreement is open to Academic Institutions and NHS Organisations in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Pricing is as follows:
HE Institutions (including NHS Affiliated Sites):
Annual fee
Total
Annual payment
£5,000
£10,000
Two year up-front payment
£4,500
£9,000
These costs include the fee for Athens Authentication of £100 per site per annum for Academic Institutions. The Athens fee per NHS Affiliated Organisation will be charged to the Academic Institution.
Other NHS Organisations or NHS Affiliated Sites where Main Site does not subscribe:
Annual payment: £1,250 which includes the £100 fee for Athens Authentication.
VAT should be added to the above figures. Fees may be pro-rated on a monthly basis for organisations joining after the start date.
Notes: The cost for Affiliated NHS Organisations is incorporated within the cost for the 'parent' academic institution, provided the 'parent' academic institution subscribes. If the NHS Affiliate is using its NHS Athens Org ID rather than the university Athens Org ID there will be a charge to Athens of £100 per organization for which the 'parent' institution will be charged.
Affiliated NHS Organisations should complete the Addendum form which needs to be signed by the 'parent' academic institution as well as by the Affiliated Organisation. The administration will be carried out by the academic institution.
The cost for NHS Affiliated Organisations will be included in that for the parent academic institution provided that use by the academic institution is not adversely affected by excessive use by NHS Affiliated organizations. Use and turnaways will be monitored to ensure this. If it is found that academic institutions are subject to an inappropriate number of turnaways the pricing for NHS Affiliated organizations will need to be reviewed as it may be necessary for Eduserv Chest to purchase additional concurrent users to overcome any problems.
NHS sites which are not affiliated to an academic institution or Affiliated NHS organizations where the 'parent' site is not licensed will pay £1,250 annually (this includes the £100 for Athens) and will need to complete a separate licence.
