New Web Portal Hosts Content for Clinicians, from Clinicians

Johns Hopkins Clinical Connection recently launched as an online clinical resource to physicians and health care professionals around the world.

Published in Insight - January/February 2015

Recent industry trends show physicians spend an average of 11 hours online each week for professional purposes, and more than two-thirds use online videos to stay up to date on clinical information.

Through videos, breaking news, case presentations, articles, and information about clinical trials and upcoming continuing medical education opportunities, the Clinical Connection website shares insights from Johns Hopkins experts on the latest clinical innovations and advances in patient care.

“Every physician’s time is limited, and Clinical Connection makes it easy for them to find clinician-focused expertise from Johns Hopkins in one place,” says David Eisele, director of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery. “We are using online resources more than ever, and it’s exciting to offer Johns Hopkins content in an online space for those who prefer a digital forum.” 

Organized by specialty, the site currently includes resources on gastroenterology, heart and vascular, neurology and neurosurgery, otolaryngology, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, and patient safety. More specialties and topics will be added.

Physicians and health care professionals can access Clinical Connection for free by creating a username and password at hopkinsmedicine.org/clinicalconnection. Johns Hopkins faculty and staff may use their JHED ID and password to log in. For questions or to provide feedback, email [email protected].
