McGraw-Hill Education and JAMA partner on new technology

NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking evidence-based medicine to the next level for the entire field of healthcare, McGraw-Hill Education, the learning sciences company, and JAMA, the world's most widely circulated medical journal, announced the launch of an all-new platform for JAMAevidence, the premier online resource for learning, teaching, and applying evidence-based medicine (EBM).

"Launching JAMAevidence on this new platform is confirmation of our commitment to being at the forefront of this movement designed to improve the overall quality of healthcare," Grillo added.

McGraw-Hill Education and the JAMA Network partnered to develop the new JAMAevidence platform with cutting-edge technology that includes mobile responsive design; a faster, more personalized user interface; completely current content; and greater integration and customization options designed to improve how healthcare professionals incorporate evidence-based medicine into their education and careers.
