Information and point-of-care solutions provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced that ACP Smart Medicine, an evidence-based clinical reference tool produced by the American College of Physicians, will be available on its OvidSP medical research platform. In addition to ACP Smart Medicine, ACP's peer-reviewed clinical journal, Annals of Internal Medicine and the Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (EBMR) database, which includes the ACP Journal Club, are among the world's leading clinical resources available in one destination on OvidSP.
ACP Smart Medicine provides trusted clinical recommendations for internists and other physicians, nurses, hospital managers, medical school faculty and students. ACP Smart Medicine includes roughly 500 diagnosis and treatment recommendations that address a variety of medical specialties and focus on clinical conditions that practitioners encounter frequently.
Written in a concise, easy-to-read format, the recommendations include key points on the disease or condition; instructions on diagnosis and differential diagnosis tables; evidence ratings; common and effective therapy recommendations; tables of prescribed drugs for specific conditions; follow-up procedures; patient education information; and links to current, underlying evidence.
Information on cost-effectiveness, efficacy, and complications is also included to help health care providers weigh the cost of care. Like all Ovid-subscribed resources, ACP Smart Medicine is searchable together with EBMR, MEDLINE, EMBASE and other resources on Ovid using just a single search query. Results from all searched resources are displayed in a single list, saving researchers valuable time.
