Who would have thought that Doctors today would be carrying their very own software? In a small pocket-size PDA (personal digital assistant) or smart phone they are access to technology that can assist them quickly. With Epocrates, Inc., there is medical reference software that is being used by over 500,000 health care professionals today. You can check out the free drug reference for iphone that can allow a Physician to quickly look up drug information, dosage, side effects as well as health plan coverage. Maybe a Doctor is looking up a type of antibiotic for a sinus infection, but the patient is already on Coumadin (a blood thinner). This trusty mobile device can check for harmful interactions between two different drugs of use. This is just one example of the many things that can be found with this awesome software.
