BMJ Group agrees deal with Asklepios Clinics Hamburg to support better
patient care

The BMJ Group has agreed a deal with Asklepios Kliniken - the largest
private hospital group in Germany - to provide fully integrated access to
Best Practice from the BMJ Evidence Centre for daily use across all their
Hamburg hospitals.

Best Practice is an online decision support tool designed to help
practitioners, patients, students and researchers find the best medical
information and use it in the most effective way.

It brings together the latest evidence, expert opinion, and guidelines on
over 10,000 different diagnoses - enabling health professionals to find
quick answers to important questions about diagnosis, treatment, prognosis,
and prevention. Essentially, it provides a reliable second opinion in an
instant.
The easy-to-use design also fits information around existing workflows,
helping clinicians, nurses and pharmacists to make the best decisions for
their patients, every time.

Dr Rubin Minhas, Clinical Director for Best Practice said: 'We are
delighted to see Best Practice being integrated into the Asklepios Hospital
Hamburg Electronic Health Record system. Because Best Practice is built
specifically for point-of-care use, it will give busy clinicians an
immediate head-start on diagnosing and treating their patients.'

Professor Dr. med Heinzpeter Moecke of Asklepios said  'The initiative to
provide integrated evidence based clinical decision support at the point of
care through Best Practice reflects Asklepios Kliniken's strategic mission
to drive innovation and quality in health care to achieve the best possible
clinical outcomes and highest standards of care for our patients.'
