Eugene Bauer, MD, vice president for Stanford University Medical Center and dean of Stanford's School of Medicine, said that Skolar, RN combines technology and medical information in ways that will bring important innovations to the nation's health care system. Nurses who subscribe to Skolar, RN will access critical information by entering simple language queries. Nurses also will be able to use the system's integrated search and learning platform to gain continuing education credits. Agilent Technologies of Palo Alto will be an early private-sector adopter of the Skolar, RN knowledge platform. The company's Healthcare Solutions Group will integrate Skolar, RN into its family of web-enabled patient monitoring devices.
Nurses are increasingly critical to health care.
We want to empower them with knowledge in the clinical setting, helping to assure quality and strengthen teamwork among health care professionals.
