What problems were you attempting to solve when you started using ExpertPath?

We are a partially subspecialized practice. Though we each cover 3-4 subspecialty areas, we all have to cover all AP subspecialties when we are on call. Also, we cover three hospitals. It is important to have a quick and up-to-date reference when we are on call at various sites. ExpertPath solves the problem of trying to keep up-to-date reference books at all sites for all subspecialties.

From your point of view, what are the biggest benefits you found in using ExpertPath in your day-to-day routine?

We cover three hospitals and may not be in our “home” office every day. ExpertPath allows us to have an up-to-date reference at all sites that we cover.

What’s the primary reason you would recommend ExpertPath?

The information is easy to access, up to date and thorough and written by experts in each subspecialty field. The references and photographs are also very helpful.

Is it important in your daily clinical activity to have diagnostic support tools?

Absolutely!
