An interesting article in Forbes (NHS readers be aware – IE6 hates Forbes) describing UpToDate as “Medicine’s Killer App”. It identifies some of the reasons that clinicians are so fond of what is essentially a textbook and adds an interesting perspective on some of the previous discussion around this product.
The UpToDate article is one of a series of four with the most interesting article for me being about Standards and practice. This is well worth a read for considering how guidance may and may not be adopted and when considering the Quality standards under development at NICE.
