Skyscape offers one of the most popular platforms for medical publishers to mobilize their content for physicians and other healthcare professionals. The company can add another feather to its cap, as the American College of Physicians (ACP) has selected Skyscape to provide the first fully integrated version of its Physicians’ Information and Education Resource (PIER) for Palm OS and Pocket PC handhelds.
The American College of Physicians is the nation’s largest medical specialty organization and second-largest physician group. Its membership comprises more than 115,000 internal medicine physicians, related subspecialists and medical students.
“More of our members are using PDAs as part of their daily practice, and this product will provide them with a reference that will cross-index seamlessly with their other Skyscape PDA references to fully realize the usefulness of Physicians’ Information and Education Resource’s evidence-based approach,” said ACP Executive Vice President and CEO John Tooker, MD, MBA, FACP.
Developed and continually updated by the American College of Physicians, Physicians’ Information and Education Resource, is a decision-support tool designed for rapid point-of-care delivery of evidence-based guidance for clinicians. Its disease-based modules present a series of guidance statements and practice recommendations, supported by more detailed levels of rationale and evidence.
Other medical organizations mobilizing their content via Skyscape include the American College of Cardiology Foundation, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Joint Committee on Cancer, and American Psychiatric Association.
