MICROMEDEX Healthcare Evidence
Editorial Governance [link to pdf INTL-4891A]
An editorial team of more than 100 advanced-degree physicians, clinical pharmacists, and other allied health professionals review more than 1,000 of the world’s medical journals each month to create reliable, evidence-based information. This multi-step, proprietary process has made Micromedex synonymous with trusted decision support.
Under the direction of our chief medical officer, all evidence is evaluated with methodological rigour. Once written, content is reviewed by an editorial board to ensure clinical accuracy and relevance. It is then delivered in the right format at each point in the patient care process.
The result: Thomson Reuters content facilitates the use of evidence-based medicine, so clinicians can identify best practices, make an informed diagnosis, and choose the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient, with confidence. With Micromedex, clinicians can:
- Ensure consistent clinical information throughout the hospital
- Streamline delivery of content through one searchable source
- Support patient safety improvement and error reduction
- Help eliminate unnecessary tasks and tests
