What clinicians say

Questions

We already use a pediatric handbook. Why this?

Print handbooks are revised on a multi-year edition cycle, so the dose or the guideline you look up can be three years old. This is revised as the evidence changes. The editorial team also spans four children's hospitals rather than one, so the recommendations reflect practice across institutions.

Our hospital already has a general clinical decision support platform. Is this redundant?

Those platforms are built for reading about a condition in depth. This is what you open with the patient in front of you and a decision to make in the next minute, covering pediatric acute care and nothing else. Plenty of clinicians carry both.

What do I get, and how does renewal work?

A one-year subscription covering the app (iPhone, iPad, Android) and full web access, with offline use once content is downloaded. Sign in with your Sanford Guide account on any device. Use the "Renew automatically every year?" option above to pick Yes for access that continues each year, or No for a single year that ends unless you renew. You can change it any time.

Is it worth $49.99 a year?

It is roughly a tenth of what the large clinical decision support platforms cost, and you can buy it yourself without institutional approval. Students get 40% off; request the student discount here. Institutional site licenses are also available, so talk to our team.
