Library resources provider EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced the hiring of Elizabeth Jones as Vice President of Medical Product Management and Chief Content Officer. In her new role Jones will oversee the EBSCO Health Medical Product Management department in addition to managing the Medical Editorial Teams of clinical reference tools such as DynaMed and CINAHL.
Prior to joining EBSCO, Jones held several senior level leadership roles in healthcare publishing. Most recently Jones served as Senior Vice President and Publisher at the American Medical Association, where she led and managed the AMA Publishing Group, including JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association together with the nine JAMA specialty journals) and American Medical News. Jones spearheaded the transformation of the peer reviewed journals to the JAMA Network, harnessing the collective power of the individual journals under one branded platform, better integrating the community of authors, reviewers and readers. Before working for the AMA, Jones was the Executive Vice President and General Manager at Wolters Kluwer Health/LWW.
DynaMed is an evidence-based clinical decision support tool that is updated daily and provides doctors and other healthcare providers with clinically organized summaries at the point of care. The creators of CINAHL, the gold standard for nursing and allied health research, also created Nursing Reference Center, EBSCO's point-of-care resource for nurses providing reference materials for research and for use with patients, continuing education for nurses and opportunities to strengthen nursing skills.
