Online Diagnostic and Hematology Databank

Major enhancements have been made to an online service that provides instant answers for physicians, medical students, and researchers worldwide.

This databank of test information includes descriptions of 350 common diagnostic tests, detailing test-selection criteria, interpretation notes, and costs. It also allows users to quickly access diagnoses and treatments for more than 800 common disorders.

McGraw Hill Professional has added Williams Hematology Online to Access Medicine's databank of test information that presents descriptions of common diagnostic tests including most blood and urine tests, diagnostic imaging exams, and tests for infectious diseases. Users can select tests, interpret results, and choose a diagnosis based on abnormal results.

Williams Hematology Online provides instant access to cutting-edge research with an
easy-to-understand, cell-by-cell approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of malignant and non-malignant hematologic disorders. This richly illustrated resource offers contextual images, tables, and illustrations, as well as 25 color plates that refer to blood, marrow, and lymph node pathology, cytogenetics, gene expression profiles, and patient clinical findings that are best illustrated in color. In addition, a full-color, online-only Hematology Atlas will be launched in late 2006 with approximately 2,000 annotated images.

One reason why AccessMedicine.com is widely used by healthcare professionals is that the medical information is updated with new tools and content, said Michael Hays, vice president of McGraw-Hill Digital. These latest enhancements are part of McGraw-Hill's ongoing effort to augment our digital reference library and make the service more accessible and practical for practitioners.
