BMJ Group, a respected global provider of evidence-based clinical resources and publisher of the British Medical Journal, has partnered with Epocrates, Inc, a recognized U.S. leader in clinical information and mobile healthcare technology, to create BMJ Point of Care. Designed from the ground up with point-of-care needs in mind, this product features original, peer-reviewed disease diagnosis and treatment content authored by physician experts in collaboration with the BMJ Group. In addition, BMJ Point of Care disease monographs contain embedded, context-specific links to the best available medical evidence in BMJ Clinical Evidence, as well as links to Epocrates’ extensive drug database. BMJ Group will be demonstrating BMJ Point of Care at booth #1127 on the HIMSS exhibit floor.
“Unlike other point-of-care products on the market today, BMJ Point of Care is specifically designed to deliver credible information that is immediately actionable, not only answering physicians’ questions quickly but also giving them the flexibility to drill down further if required or desired,” says Dr. Sheila Feit, Deputy Editor for BMJ Point of Care. “Every product development decision we make is designed to help healthcare professionals easily access information and expand their professional knowledge.”
“The content in BMJ Point of Care is also specifically designed and constructed so that it can be easily and seamlessly integrated into existing healthcare information systems,” says Phill Bird, U.S. Business Director for the BMJ Group. “At HIMSS, we have the opportunity to meet with organizations that are interested in integrating trusted and highly focused diagnostic and treatment guidance directly into their electronic health record systems.”
