Figure 47-4 Importance of time to reperfusion in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST segment eleva tion myocardial infarction
(STEMI). This plot is based on the pooled data from 1791 patient undergoing primary PCI for STEMI. After adjusting for baseline risk, there is a curvilinear relationship
s
between the time elapsed from the onset of symptoms to balloon i nflation and the rate of mortality at 1 year. For every 30- inute delay from onset of symptoms to
m
primary PCI, there is an 8 percent increase in the relative riskof 1- ear mortality. (From De Luca G, Suryapranata H, Ottervanger JP,et al: Time-delay to treatment and
y
mortality in primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction Every minute counts. Circulation 109:1223, 2004.)

Production Issues
§ Full-text SGML and images delivered to
platform from compositor at the same time
as fat PDFs for printing book
§ Currently using MD Consult DTD
§ In line with company strategy to move
toward XML-first workflow
§ Outsourced composition and conversion
with careful control of validation and
workflows
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
Development Issues
§ Re-engineered a platform built by small UK
(internal) development group
§ All E-ditions share the same platform –
changes that benefit one benefit ALL
§ Maintenance costs are minimal when
spread across all titles
§ Enhancements are done via small, nimble
development group
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005

- 15. Updates
§ Section Editors decide on update topics,
send to Updates Manager
§ Similar to manuscripts, these must be
chased
§ Freelance medical writers then contribute
updates, submitted to production
§ Added to site via web interface, production
personnel must select appropriate section to
which to “anchor” update
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
Archiving/Versioning
§ Updates are not automatically part of the next
edition
§ Updates are sent, along with a MS Word version
of current chapter, to the author for the next edition
§ He/she may include or re-write updates, but is not
mandatory
§ “True” version of x edition is the full-text without
updates, which is archived
§ E-ditions version is archived on web, but is not
considered part of x edition
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
Author/Customer Reception
§ Authors have embraced it, as it blends their
work with more currency, with little effort
§ Customers have been enthusiastic
§ Offers best of both worlds: solid, peer-
reviewed information enhanced with timely
updates

How did we get here?
§ Evolutionary approach to product
development
§ Customers were shouting for updated,
vetted information
§ Leverages existing channels to reach
(sometimes) existing customers
§ Static approach – if negative feedback on
print, it can be fixed online before next
edition
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
Greatest Challenges
§ Despite best intentions, some of this was
done independent of normal Elsevier
processes
§ Good and bad implications
§ Important to gain critical mass -- and
legitimacy -- in the eyes of the operations
group
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
16
- 17. E-ditions wrapup
§ Great lessons learned – unfortunately many
of them are unique to Elsevier
§ Business model issues: E-ditions model
contrasts nicely with MD Consult model
§ Consult gives customer everything, and books’
brand is less important as a single entity
§ E-ditions are purchased for the single book
‘experience’ – and then enriched

Production Issues
§ “Mosby’s Drug Consult” is maintained by
dedicated team of 4 editors, with database
support
§ Mosby’s Drug Consult is updated daily, but
has varying extraction and data feeds
§ Drug Updates and news is authored by MD
Consult editorial personnel

‘Global’ vs. ‘Local’ Content
§ Global Content – could be used by any
application at Elsevier, non-specific tagging
and workflows
§ Local Content – for use by 1 platform,
usually authored at the platform level
§ Different drug information is produced by
each stream

24
- 25. Archiving/Versioning
§ Mosby’s Drug Consult maintains a separate
archive – monographs of record
§ Drug Updates and news are part of the MD
Consult product – no life beyond that
§ Separate update cycles – the only time they
co-exist is when the user calls them
together
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
Conclusions, Final Thoughts
§ In both case studies, today’s version was
evolutionary, tomorrow’s will theoretically be
that much better
§ Online allows tighter “revision” timelines,
and can be used effectively to supplement
print
© Jabin White, Elsevier Inc. 2005 Interweaving Print and Online Content – SSP Boston, 2005
Conclusions, Final Thoughts
§ There are no “one size fits all” answers
§ Technological advances in production offer
both challenges and opportunities – the key
is finding the right approach for your product
and your audience
§ Customer expectations are changing
§ Print is forever, online doesn’t have to be
