Unbound Medicine®, a leader in knowledge management solutions for healthcare, has launched STS Cardiothoracic Surgery (STS-CTS) on the Unbound Platform™ to disseminate cardiothoracic expertise to trainees and practitioners worldwide.
In the past, cardiothoracic surgeons shared their expertise by writing book chapters that were published in print every 5–10 years by commercial publishers. In contrast, STS member surgeons and staff developed STS-CTS as an alternative — to be continuously updated and accessible on the users’ device of choice.
A diverse team of STS leaders working with digital content experts from Unbound Medicine developed a new approach to encoding and disseminating cardiothoracic surgical knowledge. More than 600 STS member surgeons now author and regularly update evidence-based, multifaceted content in uPub™ — Unbound’s online authoring and content management system. After online editing and approval by an editorial board, the content is published instantaneously worldwide — to smartphone and tablet apps as well as to a full-featured website.
Updated regularly, STS-CTS is divided into two works, Pearson’s General Thoracic Surgery and Adult & Congenital Cardiac Surgery. It is augmented by thousands of new anatomic illustrations, surgical images, procedural videos, and links to evidence in the medical literature. Native apps for Apple® and Android™ devices are fully integrated with the companion website and both are available for one price for individual users and institutional site-license customers.
