Comorbidities: rising to the challenge
Tailored guidance for complex comorbidities – supporting care that treats the whole patient Managing patients with comorbidities is challenging, as clinical guidelines often focus on single conditions. But failing to address comorbidities can lead to poorer outcomes and longer hospital stays. Our Comorbidities Manager empowers healthcare professionals to confidently treat a patient’s acute condition alongside their pre-existing comorbidities. As the only point-of-care tool designed to support whole-patient management, the BMJ Best Practice Comorbidities Manager prompts clinicians to input a patient’s comorbidities and generates an initial management plan tailored to their unique needs. By managing the acute presentation alongside existing conditions, hospitals can improve both the quality and efficiency of care - leading to better outcomes, shorter hospital stays, fewer readmissions, and greater patient satisfaction.
