American Academy of Pediatrics and United Health Foundation Collaborate to Advance Evidence-Based Quality Standards

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and United Health Foundation today announced a collaborative effort with the BMJ Publishing Group to support pediatricians in their practice of evidence-based medicine. This partnership will result in 60,000 pediatricians receiving free access to print and online versions of Clinical Evidence Pediatrics, the international resource of the best available evidence for effective health care.

The 65 full-text topics address the major diseases and conditions relevant to practicing pediatricians. In addition, the free online service provides access to the complete Clinical Evidence edition with its 200 topics covering the full spectrum of adult and pediatric conditions.

"We at United Health Foundation are pleased to work together with the AAP to support high quality and appropriate health care for children and adolescents," said William W. McGuire M.D., chairman of the foundation. "We know, from our six-year experience of distributing Clinical Evidence to more than 5 million physicians, that this publication is useful and appreciated. We applaud the academy for its leadership in assisting its members in optimizing health outcomes."
