The American College of Physicians (ACP) recently announced a partnership with DocSite, a leading provider of patient registries and point-of-care decision support to the healthcare market. Under the deal, ACP will integrate its Physicians' Information and Education Resource (PIER) content into DocSite patient registry applications and point-of-care decision support systems. The combined offering will allow physicians to review evidence-based medical content and guidelines within their normal clinical workflow.
Rapid access to the latest evidence-based guidance while in the treatment room with patients, using PIER and DocSite's patient registries, is projected to enhance decision support for physicians and help improve patient education and compliance.
ACP's PIER provides organised, reviewed, accessible evidence-based guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of disease as well as links to clinical articles and patient information. PIER guidance statements are developed by physician experts based on a rigorous review of current medical evidence. All content is then thoroughly peer-reviewed by physicians. To date, the PIER content development process has involved more than 500 physician writers and reviewers, and contains over 470 disease modules.
