Content enhancement and knowledge services provider Scope eKnowledge Center, a Quatrro Group company, has announced an initiative to support the continued enhancement of ProQuest's Medical Evidence Matters. ProQuest's Medical Evidence Matters online healthcare knowledge management system is designed to assist decision makers in their treatment choices for patients, allowing clinicians to assess therapy options for known medical conditions by comparing outcomes from peer-reviewed literature.
Scope's team of medical subject matter experts will be supporting the Medical Evidence Matters' medical content team, to extract data such as type of study, sampling methodology, demographic data, test results, statistical analysis, therapy and outcomes from medical treatment research articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The aim is to enable ProQuest to expand the research tool to cover more disease states.
According to Scope CEO, R. Sivadas, Scope is uniquely positioned to serve as a content provider for ProQuest's enhancement of its Medical Evidence Matters tool, enabling end users to spend less time reading, and more time with patients. The company's in-house MDs are currently providing services that support the Medical Evidence Matter's medical content team. Through this support, ProQuest expects to continue crucial, timely updates while also expanding the disease modules offered.
ProQuest's decision to enhance the Medical Evidence Matters tool with more disease states meant more editorial resources. Craig Emerson, Vice-President, Editorial for ProQuest, has said that ProQuest evaluated Scope's evidence-based medicine editorial capabilities and felt Scope will be a solid contributor.
ProQuest creates specialised information resources and technologies that propel successful research, discovery and lifelong learning. The company offers the expertise of brands such as CSA, UMI, Chadwyck-Healey, SIRS and eLibrary.
