Clinical decision support boosted for the NHS via Comorbidities Manager in BMJ Best Practice

By

 From HEE:

Health Education England (HEE) has extended their national subscription to BMJ Best Practice to include the Comorbidities Manager for all NHS staff and learners in England.

In the UK alone, one in three patients admitted to hospital as an emergency has five or more conditions. This poses a significant problem for healthcare systems. Clinical guidelines only focus on single conditions, but failure to treat the whole patient leads to worse clinical outcomes, and longer lengths of stay. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the problem, with over 60% of patients admitted to intensive care units having comorbidities.

The BMJ Best Practice Comorbidities Manager supports the management of the whole patient by including guidance on the treatment of a patient’s acute condition alongside their pre-existing comorbidities.

BMJ Best Practice is a practical tool to help clinicians meet the changing and more complex needs of patients and maximise NHS resources, together resulting in better care for patients.
