eMedicine Clinical Knowledge Base (Fereshteh)

Description

Overview

Launched in 1996, www.eMedicine.com comprises the largest and most current Clinical Knowledge Base available to physicians and other healthcare professionals. eMedicine's subscription site for institutions is www.iMedicine.com. Nearly 10,000 physician authors and editors contribute to the eMedicine Clinical Knowledge Base, which contains articles on 7,000 diseases and disorders. The evidence-based content, updated regularly, provides the latest practice guidelines in 59 medical specialties. eMedicine's professional content undergoes 4 levels of physician peer review plus an additional review by a PharmD prior to publication.

In May 2003, eMedicine launched a new consumer health site, www.eMedicineHealth.com. Current medical information is available in the Health Resource, First Aid and Emergencies, and Lifestyle and Wellness Centers. With more than 5500 pages of health content, the site contains articles written by physicians for patients and consumers. Each article is reviewed by 2 physicians and a PharmD prior to publication.

Subsequent revisions of professional or consumer articles may be provided by internal eMedicine copy editing staff, the physician author, or a physician or PharmD member of the editorial board associated with each article. Updates after the initial peer review do not generally go through subsequent peer review, though select articles may undergo a level of repeat peer review. eMedicine is proud to be certified by the Health On the Net Foundation (HONConduct #256884) verifying compliance with its 8 principles of conduct. In compliance with the guidance associated with the fourth principle – attribution – eMedicine posts the date of the last revision of any kind on each article.
