What is PIER Patient Information?
PIER (Physicians' Information and Education Resource) is a Web-based decision-support tool designed for rapid point-of-care delivery of up-to-date, evidence-based guidance for clinicians. The pages in this area are a subset of PIER, developed to help patients find relevant, medically accurate information about a wide range of topics. This information should never be substituted for a physician's judgment; always be sure to discuss the information on these pages with your physician. The patient education web pages are selected from web sites of reputable organizations by PIER's authors and editorial staff. The list of sites is evaluated and updated quarterly; however, provision of links to these web resources in no way constitutes formal endorsement of their content by the American College of Physicians.
