Note: On October 29 Medscape announced that it is acquiring Healthcare Communications Group. Medscape runs a free site, http://www.medscape.com, which currently has 800,000 registered members, including 150,000 physicians; the Medscape site has 18 specialty home pages, including one on AIDS.
Users of the Healthcare Communications Group site should not be affected, since a major purpose of the merger is to apply that site's approach to other Medscape specialties as well. Medscape CEO Paul Sheils explained the thinking behind the merger: "Physicians are among the busiest professionals in the world. They need fast, practical answers to their tough clinical questions; and they rely on experts to tell them quickly and succinctly about the latest developments and new drug therapies. Clinicians require access to that critical information from wherever they are: the office, the hospital and home. Everything we do at Medscape is designed to satisfy those fundamental needs. By combining the comprehensive, original state-of-the-art programs from HCG with the depth and breadth of Medscape's comprehensive databases, into an easy-to-use, free site, accessible from any browser anywhere, we are able to provide physicians with the tools they need to get those answers fast and stay on the cutting edge of medicine."
