Charlottesville, VA, March 24, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Unbound Medicine, a leader in knowledge management solutions for health care, has extended its digital publishing relationship with Johns Hopkins Medicine through the release of the Johns Hopkins Psychiatry Guide.

This new resource was developed by a team of physicians at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic using Unbound’s online authoring system, uPub™, then published to the Unbound Platform for distribution on the Web and mobile devices. The psychiatry guide is the latest in a series of clinical decision support resources that bring trusted information to health care professionals at the point of care. Other resources in the series include the award-winning Johns Hopkins antibiotics (ABX), diabetes and HIV guides.

Under the supervision of J. Raymond DePaulo Jr., MD, director of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and Joseph Bienvenu, MD, director of the Psychiatry Residents’ Outpatient Continuity Clinic, authors at the Phipps Clinic used the Unbound Platform to bring the comprehensive psychiatry guide from concept to publication in a little more than a year.

“The uPub authoring system was easy to use and enabled the creation of the psychiatry guide in a very short time,” says DePaulo, the Henry Phipps Professor of Psychiatry. “We are excited to share our clinical expertise in a modern, continually updated format to guide clinicians and trainees who diagnose and treat mental health disorders.”

The Johns Hopkins Psychiatry Guide was released on both the official Hopkinsguides.com website and as a native app downloadable to mobile devices running Apple and Android operating systems. Working closely with the Johns Hopkins Point of Care Information Technology Center (POC-IT Center), the Unbound team fully integrated the new psychiatry guide with existing Johns Hopkins guides and launched it worldwide to institutional site-license customers and individual users.

“The vision we share with the POC-IT Center is to combine Johns Hopkins’ medical expertise with Unbound’s informatics and technology knowledge to help clinicians answer clinical questions wherever they arise,” says Bill Detmer, MD, president of Unbound Medicine. “We are excited to publish the work of the Phipps Clinic, which has a remarkable 100-year history of educating psychiatric professionals and treating mental health disorders.”
