The Health Maintenance recommendations included here have been updated through December 2009. This is based upon the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and has been organized by age into one page summaries. Here you will find the most current recommendations to improve health and prevent disease for each population of patients. Your requests led to our inclusion of the CDC's immunization tables.
Please check out the 5-Minute online at 5minuteconsult.com and for your mobile device. Your access is included in your purchase, allowing you to quickly reference the 5-Minute wherever you need it. Included are over 900 topics on the web via an easy-to-use interface. This new feature includes easy maneuverability between chapters and sections, and extra content not in the book (including a pediatric section).
The Algorithms section in the front of the book has been again expanded and includes both diagnostic and treatment algorithms. Our goal here is to provide you with a graphic method to evaluate an abnormal finding and how to prioritize treatment. I urge you to look through this section and recognize its utility.
