Treat the whole patient
Comorbidities are a significant and costly global problem - one in three adults suffer from multiple chronic conditions and most patients in the acute setting have more than one medical condition.
Managing the treatment of patients with comorbidities is hard - clinical guidelines only focus on single conditions - but failure to manage comorbidities leads to worse clinical outcomes, and longer lengths of stay.
BMJ Best Practice - Comorbidities is the only point of care tool that supports the management of the whole patient by including guidance on the treatment of a patient’s acute condition alongside their pre-existing comorbidities.
“I’d like to see BMJ Best Practice comorbidities usage ingrained into our practice, both as a learning resource and as a practical resource for checking and verifying decisions made on the ward.” Tim Mossad, Consultant in Emergency Medicine, Chesterfield Royal Hospital
Healthcare professionals can add their patient’s comorbidities to their acute condition and to get a tailored management plan instantly.
By considering a patient’s comorbidities early, this will help hospitals to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, avoid unnecessary treatments, and reduce length of stay.
It will also help to prepare medical students for the realities of clinical rounds and rotations in complex healthcare systems.

Practical Approach to Care Kit for primary care
In 2014, BMJ and the Knowledge Translation Unit (KTU), University of Cape Town, formed an international health partnership to equip frontline primary healthcare workers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Together, we globalised the South African Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK) programme to make it available to LMICs around the world.
The PACK clinical guides strengthen primary healthcare (PHC) systems by providing clinical decision support for clinicians based on WHO guidelines and the latest updates from the BMJ Knowledge centre. The guide content is formatted as user-friendly algorithms and checklists, and is standardised and able to be localised and translated for in-country use. Content covers everything from symptom evaluation and diagnosis to the management of the most commonly seen acute and chronic conditions in PHC. The guides are available in both print and digital eBook formats.
The clinicians who are trained to use PACK are all frontline primary healthcare clinicians, including doctors, nurses, midwives, health officers, clinical officers, community health workers (CHWs) and community health extension workers (CHEWs).
“PACK is a game changer for our nurses. They used to spend their time doing very bureaucratic work and not seeing any patients, but now they
are doing more clinical procedures, which is good for the population.” Ronaldo Zonta, General Practitioner, Brazil

Strengthening primary healthcare
Health professionals are the first line of defence when it comes to detecting infectious diseases. A robust and resilient health system will be better prepared to manage outbreaks whilst at the same time continuing to maintain core healthcare functions.
The BMJ Clinical Decision Support Training Initiative is our flagship global health programme. It supports biosurveillance and builds health system capacity and resilience through workforce development.
The initiative equips healthcare professionals with our evidence-based resources, BMJ Best Practice and BMJ Learning, to improve their ability to detect, diagnose and manage infectious diseases as well as non-communicable diseases.

Strengthening primary healthcare
Health professionals are the first line of defence when it comes to detecting infectious diseases. A robust and resilient health system will be better prepared to manage outbreaks whilst at the same time continuing to maintain core healthcare functions.
The BMJ Clinical Decision Support Training Initiative is our flagship global health programme. It supports biosurveillance and builds health system capacity and resilience through workforce development.
The initiative equips healthcare professionals with our evidence-based resources, BMJ Best Practice and BMJ Learning, to improve their ability to detect, diagnose and manage infectious diseases as well as non-communicable diseases.
