What is the Map of Medicine?
The Map of Medicine (MoM) is a web-based visual representation of evidence-based patient care journeys covering 28 medical specialties and 390 pathways. Wirral Local Health Community is an early adopter of the Map.
How can I get training on using the Map of Medicine?
The Wirral University Teaching Hospital (WUTH) NHS Foundation Trust Integrated Library Service (ILS) is delivering a series of training sessions titled ‘Introduction to the Map of Medicine’.
The session will be delivered in two parts. The first part of the session will be a presentation and demonstration of the Map of Medicine. After attending this session, participants will be invited to take part in a ‘drop in’ tutorial session at a later date.
On completion of this session, participants will be aware and have an understanding of how to:
· Access the MoM via the Internet
· Obtain and use a username and password for future access to the MoM
· Navigate the layout and structure of the MoM website
· Search, browse and use filters to view over 400 patient journeys visualised in pathways
· Basically interpret and view MoM features around each pathway including the evidence-based accreditation process
· Add personal notes to patient pathways
· Search and link to other online resources via MoM including the National Library for Health (NLH) British National Formulary (BNF) and Google
· Print out patient pathways
· View pathways from other trusts
· Use additional features to give feedback, obtain online help, and via news and updates about MoM
