mehealthT enables clinicians to provide patient-centric care, informed by evidence-based guidance from the most respected sources of clinical guidelines and knowledge, and will include Wiley's international best-selling clinical reference, The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry.

The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines claim to be an invaluable guide for anyone responsible for prescribing, dispensing or administering drugs for patients with mental health disorders. All the evidence has been reviewed and summarized succinctly by an expert team of psychiatrists and pharmacists. This evidence is delivered by mehealthT in an individualized, context-specific format at the appropriate time in the clinical workflow. Summary information is presented, with access to the familiar tables and flowcharts of The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, backed up with extensive referencing so that users can assess the supporting evidence.
