DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The 5-Minute Clinical Consult provides rapid-access information on the
diagnosis, treatment, medications, follow-up, and associated conditions
of more than 700 medical conditions. Organized alphabetically by
diagnosis, this best-selling clinical reference continues to present brief,
bulleted points on disease topics in a consistent templated format.
The 5-Minute Clinical Consult is presented in two formats: Standard
(print only) and Premium (print + 1-year online access). The 5-Minute
Clinical Consult website gives customers a complete online decision
support tool, with fully searchable diagnoses, lab tests, treatment
algorithms, and patient handouts. In 2014, we will improve the site’s
UI and mobile experiences to emphasize the search functionality and
to improve navigability for faster access to the clinical information
physicians need.
This comprehensive text provides pertinent information on medical
diagnosis, therapy, lab tests, and health maintenance essential to
decision making in primary care medicine. Every chapter will be
revised to include more images and tables and bulleted lists. Practical
recommendations that incorporate the best available evidence, expert
consensus guidelines, and clinical judgment guidelines are listed in
bulleted items at the end of every chapter.
