The Comorbidities Manager
An addition to BMJ Best Practice, the Comorbidities Manager supports students to better understand the complexities of treating multiple conditions and to determine correct diagnoses and management plans. • Providing clinical decision support to better prepare medical students for the challenges of the modern day patient • The only point of care tool that supports the management of the whole patient • It enables students to better understand the complexities of treating multiple conditions and to determine correct diagnoses and management plans.
The Comorbidities Manager
Benefits for students • Expands knowledge beyond single conditions and basic sciences • Prepares for the reality of clinical rounds and rotations in complex healthcare systems • Reduces the need to consult multiple resources during study and revision • Managing a fluid student body - supporting clinical placements and new intakes • Improving student satisfaction, not only during education but on reflection post graduation.
Benefits for academics • Addresses an important challenge not traditionally covered in medical curricula • Supports complex problem based learning and patient scenarios • Saves time during preparation of teaching materials • Ensuring students feel confident in their knowledge and skills.
The Comorbidities Manager
• Prompts users to consider a patient’s comorbidities when accessing treatment information on an acute topic • Add the patient’s comorbidities and get a tailored management plan instantly • Treat with confidence to improve patient outcomes.
Treating each disease in a patient as if it exists in isolation will lead to less good outcomes and complicate and duplicate interactions with the healthcare system. Training from medical school onwards, clinical teams, and clinical guidelines, however, all tend to be organised along single disease or single organ lines.”
