Elsevier Announces the Launch of MD Consult Mobile

Clinicians Benefit From Easy Access to the Authoritative Information Doctors Trust

ST. LOUIS, Missouri, November 11 - Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of scientific, technical, and
medical information products and services, announced today that physicians of
any specialty will be able to access an entire library of quality medical
content on their mobile devices with the launch of MD Consult Mobile. Because
physicians frequently travel between medical facilities and hospitals and
often are not able to use a computer as they do rounds or perform other tasks
away from an office, having access to evidence-based clinical content at any
time or in any location is becoming increasingly essential. Optimized for
iPhones, BlackBerrys and other smartphone devices, MD Consult Mobile allows
clinicians to consult the same MD Consult content available from a laptop or
desktop computer.

"Being able to get to the kind of content I would normally only be able
to see if I was sitting at a computer is a big advantage as I go through my
day," said Neil W. Rawlins, MD, a Board Certified OB-GYN and Medical
Information Officer for Kadlec Clinic in the state of Washington. "Hunting
for an unoccupied computer in any medical facility is frustrating, so having
access to MD Consult from the palm of my hand is a great leap forward for
clinical decision support."

MD Consult Mobile provides a new interface that is optimized for a small
screen, making an extensive collection of books, journal articles, Clinics,
and guidelines easily accessed and read from a mobile device's web browser.
MD Consult Mobile users can browse directly to content via Quick Reference
links that cover a growing list of medical topics with pre-organized
resources; search books, Clinics, journals/MEDLINE(R), and practice
guidelines; view full-text chapters and journal articles plus images of all
searchable content; and email content links, to themselves for later review,
or to colleagues.

"Physicians require comprehensive access to current information as close
to the point of patient care as possible," said Randy Charles, Managing
Director, Global Clinical Reference, Elsevier. "The introduction of MD
Consult Mobile is a direct result of the feedback of loyal MD Consult
customers. Being able to consult this evidence-based clinical content from a
mobile device will help our users find efficient clinical answers and make
better patient treatment decisions no matter where they happen to be."

MD Consult Mobile is available at no additional charge to individual
subscribers, as well as end-users at institutions with site license
subscriptions.

"Everyone acquainted with MD Consult will recognize its authoritative
sources, such as Cecil Medicine, Braunwald's Heart Disease, Sabiston Textbook
of Surgery, Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, the Harriet Lane Handbook, Ferri's
Clinical Advisor 2010, the Clinics of North America, leading clinical
journals, practice guidelines from professional medical societies, and many
more," added Charles. "Now subscribers can access that content by simply
opening their phone's Internet browser and typing in m.mdconsult.com."
