TRAVAX EnCompass SL Services
The SL license complements TRAVAX EnCompass with several valuable services and product purchase discounts.
News Alerts
This is a service designed to deliver travel-health-related news to you via e-mail whenever there is important information to report. News Alert content falls into 2 categories (see sample):
- Update AlertInformation that will be incorporated into TRAVAX EnCompass according to the standard update cycle, offering you timely notice of these items.
- In Other NewsAdditional travel health and safety items that your clients may see in the press and ask about. These are items of a transient or expected nature that don't warrant undue emphasis in EnCompass. Nonetheless, you'll want to be aware of them.
Literature Watch
This service delivers commentary and abstracts for articles shaping the practice of travel medicine in an e-mail format (see sample). Physicians monitor the contents of a select group of medical journals to identify timely articles that meet the following criteria:
- RelevanceThe article deals directly with concerns of travelers or expatriates and offers information with a practical application in your practice.
- UniquenessThe article addresses a conclusive change in the standard of care based on solid evidence; presents new information on prevention guidelines, products, or health regulations; is a touchstone article on a topic; or contributes a worthwhile topic to the base of travel health information presented in TRAVAX EnCompass.
Literature Watch items are added to EnCompass and are accessible via the Abstracts link that appears for many topics in the Provider Resources section.
