Helping healthcare teams rise to the comorbidities challenge
Over 50% of Americans suffer from comorbidities.1 One in three adults suffers from multiple chronic conditions in Canada. That figure doubles with advancing age groups.2
BMJ Best Practice takes healthcare professionals quickly and accurately to the latest clinical information, whenever and wherever they need it. Our step-by-step guidance on diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention is updated daily using robust evidence-based methodology and expert opinion. As the only point-of-care tool that supports the management of both single conditions and patients with complex comorbidities, we empower healthcare professionals to treat the whole patient effectively.
A key feature of BMJ Best Practice, the Comorbidities Manager, prompts clinicians to consider a patient’s comorbidities when accessing treatment information for acute conditions, such as COPD, diabetes, asthma, and depression. This tailored approach provides initial management plans based on the latest US guidelines and expert opinion, ensuring that healthcare professionals are equipped with the relevant, evidence-based guidance needed to deliver comprehensive care.
The Comorbidities Manager gives us a complete point-of-care tool, allowing physicians and nurses to provide that whole care, treating the whole patient, and not just the condition or disease at hand.
