Medical knowledge provider BMJ is implementing an ambitious Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Training Initiative, aimed at improving differential diagnosis of infectious diseases, as well as achieving broader healthcare outcomes in Jordan and Iraq.
The Initiative provides clinicians and healthcare professionals with evidence-based online tools and resources, including BMJ Best Practice and BMJ Learning, to improve the diagnosis, treatment and management of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Produced by international experts, the tools are available offline, online through www.elm.jo and via mobile devices. The programme is fully supported by The Electronic Library of Medicine (ELM) programme by Electronic Health Solutions (EHS) for the benefit of the Ministry of Health and the Royal Medical Services (RMS) in Jordan, as well as the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Higher Education in Iraq.
To celebrate the initiative a reception was held at the British Ambassador's residence in Amman on the evening of March 11.
The event was attended by representatives of Ministries of Health in Jordan and Iraq, senior Iraqi officials from the Ministry of Higher Education and key stakeholders within the heathcare sector in Jordan. After the event, the team commenced their visits to four leading hospitals across Jordan to deliver training to groups of healthcare professionals.
