American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and knowledge management solutions provider Unbound Medicine, US, has announced the launch of Pediatric Care Online. Created especially for pediatricians and pediatric residents, the point-of-care solution integrates AAP reference content with Unbound's platform making the site easy to access using a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless device, or the web.
Pediatric Care Online is designed around the daily clinical needs of pediatric offices. It will include content from three of the AAP's most relied-upon practice resources - the new AAP Textbook of Pediatric Care, AAP's Red Book and Bright Futures, the organisation's comprehensive health supervision guidelines. While the new AAP Textbook of Pediatric Care claims to be a standard reference of its kind, the AAP's Red Book provides detailed information on more than 200 childhood infectious diseases.
The Unbound Platform is projected as a powerful platform that supports end-to-end digital publishing activities from content creation through multi-platform electronic delivery. For Pediatric Care Online, the Unbound Platform's editorial module, uPub, facilitates streamlined creation of modular content via distributed author networks. For users, the Unbound Platform delivers content where and when it is needed - to personal digital assistants (PDAs), the Web, or wireless devices.
