Best Practice with Comorbidities Manager : Treat the whole patient

One in three adults suffer from multiple chronic conditions 1 This poses a significant problem for clinicians and medical students around the world. Clinical guidelines currently only focus on a single condition. To close this gap in clinical knowledge, BMJ added a comorbidities algorithm to BMJ Best Practice . Healthcare professionals are prompted to add patient comorbidities when accessing treatment information. The comorbidities manager then produces a plan tailored to the unique needs of the patient.

BMJ Best Practice is the ONLY clinical decision support tool with a comorbidities manager When comorbidities are considered in the acute setting, patients receive optimal care, leading to better clinical outcomes and shortened lengths of stay.
