New Procedures Consult Mobile From Elsevier Enables Clinicians to View Top Medical Procedures From Mobile Devices

Physicians, Residents and Students now Able to Prepare, Review and Test Knowledge of Common Medical Procedures Anywhere, Anytime

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, July 14, 2010 - Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of scientific, technical, and
medical information products and services, announced today that physicians,
residents and students will be able to visualize and review over 300 top
medical procedures on their mobile devices with the launch of Procedures
Consult Mobile. As the use of smartphones increases in the clinical setting,
access to mobile resources proves to be an essential tool for verifying
physicians' knowledge and skills before conducting a procedure.

"As the leading multimedia, online skills-focused education program,
Procedures Consult allows clinicians to learn and review important procedural
skills at the most 'teachable moment', furthering their education and
training while simultaneously increasing patient safety and reducing adverse
medical events," said Dr. Jonathan Teich, Chief Medical Informatics Officer
for Elsevier Health Sciences. "The mobile-enabled version further expands the
value of Procedures Consult by putting this knowledge right in your pocket,
close to you at every point of care."

Procedures Consult Mobile provides web-enabled smartphones with access to
expert videos, "quick review" text and illustrations, checklists and
universal protocol content for every procedure - all presented within a user
interface optimized for smartphone web browsers. The mobile site allows
clinicians who may not have studied or conducted a procedure for a period of
time the ability to prepare for, perform and follow-up on the most common
procedures required in today's hospital setting.

This mobile-enabled platform allows both students and practicing
physicians the ability to review procedures from anywhere, at anytime, which
is becoming increasingly essential in the medical setting.

Clinicians can view modules in the following seven areas: anesthesia,
emergency medicine, family medicine, general surgery, internal medicine,
orthopaedics and a collection specifically geared to the needs of medical
students.

Procedures Consult Mobile is included as part of the current Procedures
Consult institutional subscription package at no additional charge, as well
as upcoming individual subscription offerings beginning in July 2010. Users
can access Procedures Consult Mobile by pointing a mobile browser to
m.proceduresconsult.com with a valid username and password.
