"We want to help extend the knowledge available to professionals in this field," said Lisa Wells, director of marketing for UroMed. "When we do that we are improving the level of care for the people we serve."

Dorland Health approached UroMed because it is a leading provider in the urology field, said Anne Llewellyn, editor in chief.  "Our goal with UroMed was to bring people together on issues with regard to some of the top (urological) conditions that cause readmissions, that cause complications," said Llewellyn. "It brings issues to mind so they can think about it while they are working with that patient."

The Dorland Health Urology Series includes 12 clinician-authored articles on the topics of:
•   Neurogenic Bladder
•   Spina Bifida
•   Multiple Sclerosis
•   Spinal Cord Injury
•   Caregiving Issues

Each article is worth two CEUs, and the CEU tests are complimentary for medical professionals.  All of the articles are approved through Commonwealth Educational Seminars (CES) for the following audiences:

•   Case Managers
•   Clinical Nurses
•   Disability Management Specialists
•   Life Care Planners
•   Nurse Practitioners
•   Urology Nurses
