Cochrane Reviews – Evidence-Based Medicine At the Bedside

Evidence-based decision support tools are critical in today’s cost-conscious, outcome-based environment. It goes without saying that optimal patient health requires accurate diagnoses and effective treatment, but what about the operational health of your practice or institution? You’ll find the latest evidence-based information relating to patient care and practice management in Skyscape’s recently introduced Cochrane Reviews collection.
In partnership with John Wiley & Sons, Skyscape released a family of 49 “Cochrane Reviews” titles, formatted specially for use by Palm and PocketPC enabled PDAs and smart phones. Cochrane Reviews explore the evidence for and against the effectiveness and appropriateness of treatments which provide the ‘gold-standard’ in high quality, reliable, evidence-based medical care. The partnership marks the first time “Cochrane Reviews” titles – which were previously only available as a volume set – will be available as individual titles formatted for mobile, point-of-care use by medical professionals. Versions for Windows™ 98/2000/XP/ME/Tablet PC are also available.
Skyscape also offers a wide variety of additional evidence-based references like Handbook of Evidence Based Critical Care, Evidence Based Cardiology, Evidence Based Diagnosis, Physicians’ Information and Education Resource.
Cochrane Reviews add another dimension to the company’s comprehensive specialty-based library of most-widely used medical reference titles and clinical tools.
