Description
The Institutional Edition of the
eMedicine Clinical Knowledge Base is the only peer-reviewed medical
reference developed specifically for point-of-care in hospitals, ambulatory
care centers, clinics, and private offices.
eMedicine is designed and built as a user-friendly, authoritative,
and reliable decision-support tool for physicians. The content
is created using templates to facilitate searching across a large
amount of material. All content is peer reviewed for accuracy and
relevance and is continuously updated to ensure that users are
provided the most current information possible.
The eMedicine Clinical Knowledge Base is now the world’s
largest repository of original, peer-reviewed medical content.
Some liken it to an online textbook of medicine in every specialty.
Others view it as a huge reservoir of information that can be tapped
for very specific needs, such as linking condition descriptions
to a patient’s records or providing a treatment guideline
in a care plan.
Available in the following configurations, this resource can be
used as the foundation for your clinical information systems, providing
your staff with the high-quality reference and learning tools to
deliver better, more efficient, and safer patient care.

A Bit of History
The original eMedicine project began in 1996, with the initial
objective of creating an accurate online medical textbook that
could be updated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To manage the creation
and maintenance of such an ambitious project, the company developed
new content authoring, management, and distribution software, now
patented, called the Group Publishing System™ (GPS).
Now in its second generation, this unique system makes possible
the efficient collaboration of thousands of authors and editors
as they write, edit, and review materials from remote locations.
Using a highly structured format, specific content is placed in
the same location for every topic, greatly improving the quality
and speed of searches.
Today, the Clinical Knowledge Base contains over 6,500 peer-reviewed
articles representing the best thinking of medical experts and
supported by literature and evidence reviews. Nearly 10,000 physicians
have collaborated to create this unique resource, and the content
is continuously reviewed to maintain currency.
