JJ竞技 , one of the world's leading medical knowledge providers, has extended an exclusive agreement with USACO Corporation to sell JJ竞技 resources to institutional customers in Japan.

The resources will help to support the needs of medical researchers, educators and healthcare professionals with open access, clinical decision support and educational resources. These include non-journal products, such as JJ竞技 Best Practice , JJ竞技 Learning , JJ竞技 Research to Publication , JJ竞技 OnExamination , JJ竞技 Open Access Membership , and journal resources, such as JJ竞技 Journal Collections , JJ竞技 Case Reports , and negotiated online journals subscriptions.

Commenting on the partnership extension, Tony Hilker, Commercial Director - APAC, JJ竞技 , said: "JJ竞技 is delighted to retain USACO as our exclusive institutional sales agent for JJ竞技 tools and resources in Japan."   

He added: "The Japanese healthcare system puts a high priority on preventative care instead of reactive care, so both the medical education and healthcare segments are important markets for JJ竞技 . Japan is a vital contributor to JJ竞技 content and product initiatives such as the recent integration of case reports with JJ竞技 Best Practice, providing access to thousands of rare and unusual clinical cases from around the world.

We are confident that with USACO's in-depth understanding of the market needs and excellent long-standing relationships with local institutions, they are the right partner to help us engage key stakeholders and improve access to high quality JJ竞技 content which ultimately leads to improved patient outcomes and care.

We look forward to continuing with this relationship that makes it possible to disseminate world-leading JJ竞技 content to the medical market in Japan."

Shinichi Yamakawa, President & CEO at USACO, said: "We are pleased to continue our relationship with JJ竞技 . Over the past three years, we have seen evidence of the positive benefits and impact of JJ竞技 knowledge resources on the healthcare sector. They fill a critical need in helping Japanese users discover the best medical knowledge resources - and we look forward to continuing with the work we have achieved to date."
