FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unbound Medicine Releases Unique Disease, Drug, and Evidence
Bundle for Pediatrics
Pediatrics Central Joins List of PDA,
Web, and Wireless Resources
Charlottesville, VA, September 13, 2007—Today,
Unbound Medicine, a leader in knowledge management solutions
and mobile information resources for healthcare released the
new Pediatrics
Central™ bundle on the Unbound™ Platform for web,
wireless, and PDA access. Now, healthcare providers can access
fully integrated pediatric disease and treatment information
backed by the latest evidence in medicine. Pediatrics Central
is the fifth in the company’s “Central”
series that bundles disease, test, and treatment references
with tools to search and manage the medical literature.
Combining two popular references in the field of pediatrics—The
Red Book® and 5-Minute Pediatric Consult—Pediatrics
Central helps clinicians answer questions that arise in the
identification and diagnosis of childhood diseases. The
Red Book: 2006 Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases,
from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), presents
the most reliable and clinically useful information on more
than 200 childhood infectious diseases. Lippincott Williams
& Wilkins’ 5-Minute Pediatric Consult provides
immediate, practical advice on problems seen in infants, children,
and adolescents. With a single click, users can seamlessly
link from information in these resources to treatment information
in Pediatrics Central’s drug reference, a comprehensive
database of 4,600 drugs with pediatric dosing considerations.
To support this information with the best available evidence,
Unbound MEDLINE is included in the bundle. Derived from the
National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database, Unbound
MEDLINE allows users to track leading journals and search
the latest medical literature. The unique MEDLINE Clinical
search filter instantly defines search parameters to retrieve
best evidence in areas of relevance to practice. Unbound's
Journal Browser automatically delivers a customized selection
of tables of contents and abstracts from the latest journals
directly to a user’s handheld upon synchronization.
“For the first time, integrated pediatric resources
are connected with evidence-based searching in MEDLINE,”
said David Stockwell, MD, FAAP, from Children's National
Medical Center and PediatricsonHand.com. “Anyone who
treats children can rely on Pediatrics Central to help diagnose
and treat pediatric conditions and stay up to date with the
latest evidence.”
Unbound’s unique PDA, Web and wireless technology gives
pediatricians and other healthcare professionals the flexibility
to use any popular PDA or wireless device, such as smartphone,
BlackBerry, and iPhone to consult Pediatrics Central. “Busy
clinicians need to have accurate disease and drug information
from a variety of locations,” added Bill Detmer, MD, President
and CEO of Unbound Medicine. “Pediatrics Central gives
mobility to titles that caregivers have learned to rely on.”
