Leveraging the speed and interactivity of the online environment, PIER, Physicians’ Information and Education Resource, is specifically designed to provide rapid access to clinical information during the decision-making process – at a time when it’s most crucial. PIER fulfills the information needs of healthcare professionals, closes known gaps in patient care, assists in improving the quality of care and health outcomes, as well as encourages lifelong learning.

Structured in a layered format, PIER modules are designed to allow you to drill down from more general to specific, targeted information, with immediate access to underlying supporting evidence from the medical literature. PIER sections include:

• Disease modules: Modules for hundreds of diseases (with new modules added on a continual basis), structured uniformly to facilitate the clinical workflow, are PIER's core. Each module presents a series of succinct guidance statements and practice recommendations, supported by more detailed levels of pertinent rationale and evidence.
• Screening and Prevention modules: Best evidence to support rational use of screening and prevention measures in healthy people
• Complementary/Alternative Medicine(CAM) modules: Overview of the harms and benefits of CAM modalities used in the management of common medical problems
• Ethical and Legal Issues modules: Background and guidance in approaching common legal and ethical dilemmas that arise in daily practice
• Procedures modules: Details of commonly ordered diagnostic and therapeutic tests and interventions
• Drug Resource: Comprehensive, clinically-relevant, real-time drug information from Clinical Pharmacology, including all U.S. prescription drugs, as well as hard-to-find coverage of herbal supplements, nutritional and over-the-counter products, and Phase III investigational drugs (may be purchased as an optional integrated resource)
• Clinical Presentations: Flow-diagram approaches to diagnosing undifferentiated symptoms, signs, and laboratory abnormalities (coming soon)
