PEPID PCP goes to the next level… Incorporating the Evidence
Over the last four years the FPIN membership has been working on the PEPID Primary Care Plus medical content by incorporating evidence and raising the quality of the product. While we have added over 600 medical topics, many calculators and a variety of other features into the product, we are ready to move to the next level. The FPIN PEPID Editors and PCP users have agreed that incorporating the evidence explicitly into PEPID is vital, so this phase of PEPID will include grades of recommendation (using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy) and also patient care information and the addition of the new FPIN PURLs(Priority Updates from the Research Literature).
For more information about this next phase of PEPID Primary Care Plus, contact Managing Editor, Cortni Cross at Cortni@fpin.orgor (573) 256-2066.
