UpToDate and Lippincott Nursing Center for mpox front line care
For clinicians at the front lines of the outbreak who are seeking the most current, evidence-based clinical decision support, several UpToDate mpox topics are available.
UpToDate has also curated a list of orthopoxvirus guidelines from global and national agencies such as CDC, WHO, and other public health organizations.
Useful resources developed specifically for nurses are available from Lippincott Nursing Center. This includes evidence-based practice articles selected from nursing journals as well as an interactive mpox overview presentation.
Ovid for mpox epidemiologists, researchers, and scientists
Timely research articles on mpox from across the Lippincott journal portfolio have been made available for free access.
To aid scientists, epidemiologists and clinical researchers currently using the Ovid medical research platform, Wolters Kluwer developed two Expert Searches focused on mpox. The advanced searches make it easier to navigate the vast body of research and access the latest and most relevant content.
