The Source is a real-time, point-of-care decision support system that helps clinicians make correct diagnostic and therapeutic decisions using an interactive set of algorithms. Clinicians realize the inherent challenge of keeping up with the ever-expanding medical knowledge base required for accurate diagnosis and therapeutic intervention — approximately 33,000 new journal articles per month and more than five 5 million citations in the National Library of Medicine. The Source effectively distills this information into a manageable form and makes it available at the point of care.

The Source provides the following benefits:

	A standardized approach to hundreds of the most common clinical and therapeutic dilemmas in acute care
	Patient-specific, cost-effective recommendations through an interactive application that solicits key clinical data, enters these into sophisticated decision trees, and generates explicit recommendations for individual patients.
	A fast, action-oriented, easy-to-use, acute care knowledge base
	More than 3,000 annotated references linked to the National Library of Medicine
	The latest information on drug alerts and new treatments updated monthly in the "What's New" section
	A fast, effective, key-word and topic search engine
