Leading UK primary care systems supplier EMIS has announced the launch of an updated version of its Mentor Library, which will be distributed free as a value- added service to the firms’ 5,000 primary care clients later this month.
The Mentor Library can be accessed directly vie the EMIS clinical software, to support decision-making and act as an instant reference guide.
New features of the Library include a detailed section on travel advice, developed in partnership with travel care specialists at the Hospital of Tropical Diseases.
The Mentor Library will provide the most up to date guidance on travellers’ healthcare, with regular, remote updates provided by the electronic EMIS patch system.
John Mathewson, marketing manager at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, described access to information as key to improving the healthcare of British travellers, citing a recent spate of Malaria as an example of where up to date information could have made a real difference.
Additional reference resources included in the latest version of Mentor include an electronic copy of the Concise Oxford Textbook of Medicine, drug information leaflets, and Seneca Law for Doctors.
The updated package also includes information on DVLA fitness to drive, a drugs misuse guide, an integrated version of DeRemis, and Patient Information Leaflets.
