InfoPOEMs

John Wiley & Sons has announced a new agreement with Epocrates, a provider of mobile and web-based clinical applications, to make Wiley's recently-acquired InfoPOEMs medical content available to Epocrates users.

Under the terms of the agreement, Epocrates will integrate selected POEMs – daily summaries of the latest evidence-based medical research – into its free DocAlert medical news service. DocAlert messages are distributed to the mobile devices of more than 500,000 healthcare professionals and help clinicians stay abreast of current information regarding clinical trials, drug withdrawals and study data. With the addition of InfoPOEMs' content, the DocAlert service will further provide clinicians with important content to support decision-making at the point of care.
