McGraw-Hil launches AccessEmergency Medicine

McGraw-Hill Professional, a leading global provider of information resources for the scientific and medical communities, today announced the launch of AccessEmergency Medicine, a complete online service that allows users to quickly search for the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment for the entire scope of problems that present in the Emergency Department.

AccessEmergency Medicine includes instructional videos for key clinical procedures, decision rules, and crisis interventions performed in the Emergency Department. AccessEmergency Medicine was developed in conjunction with the American College of Emergency Physicians.

The development of AccessEmergency Medicine was guided by experts in the field of emergency medicine. Judith Tintinalli, MD, MS, editor of the best-selling Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine, and Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is editor-in-chief of the site. Stephen H. Thomas, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, and Aaron Hexdall, MD, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at New York University School of Medicine and Bellevue Hospital Center, are members of the editorial advisory board.

AccessEmergency Medicine offers complete coverage of common and uncommon procedures in the emergency department with all the information physicians need to retrieve and review quickly -- indications, contraindications, approaches, materials and complications. To aid in quick diagnosis and treatment decisions, the information service provides multimedia resources, illustrations, imaging studies, algorithms and clinical presentations fully integrated with the text.

An invaluable resource to emergency physicians, AccessEmergency Medicine is also an ideal tool for resident and student education, and for emergency nursing and paramedic information. The text, drawings and videos are excellent for teaching skills and procedures critical for residents preparing for board certification examination.
