The American Medical Association and Elsevier, a Netherlands-based global information analytics company, will jointly create online course material for the AMA's Current Procedural Terminology medical reporting codes.
The collaboration adds to Elsevier's products with other healthcare associations, including the Emergency Nurses Association, the Association for Nursing Professional Development and the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.
Barbara Cullen, vice president for strategy and product development, clinical solutions at Elsevier, said the company's "work with the AMA is another way in which we can help the business of healthcare be more successful for hospitals and physicians. These organizations are training new staff and need to keep staff current, and we see this new eLearning content playing an important role in that process."
