Info

Freiberg Press is a specialized healthcare publishing company located in Cedar Falls, Iowa. We specialize in producing current, research-oriented publications for a variety of healthcare workers involved in caring for the elderly. Some of our publications are the oldest, most respected in the industry, and over the decades have played a major role in defining what the educational healthcare publishing industry has become today. Many are used for training/education in several types of eldercare settings. Our very high renewal rates, plus frequent letters of praise from throughout the industry, attest to the professional value of our magazines and newsletters! We're different: We help with your training in "Evidence-based medicine" in longterm care! All of our publications specialize in translating recent evidence- based medical research into practical, understandable, usable, current education! This results in "evidence-based medicine" being practiced in your longterm care facility! We're one of the very few educational healthcare publishers that do this, and especially in the area of geriatric care! And why is this important? A scholarly survey of nurses, published in the Sept 2005 American Journal of Nursing, reported that 58% did not use current research information at all in their caregiving activities. This caused authors to comment: "It's worrisome that sources of new information, new research, and new evidence for practice were used infrequently, if at all, by the RNs in our study.
