PDA and smartphones are really useful

I didn’t know that my doctor could use a PDA or an Iphone in his work. There is a software called Epocrates that can be used in PDA and smartphones. It is used by more than 500,000 healthcare professionals.

They can have it in their PDA or smartphones, as I said. The have access to the information they will need to prescribe the medicine, like drug dosing, side effects and health plan coverage.

Sometimes a patient is already taking a drug but he still have the problem. The doctor can use his mobile device and check for potentially harmful interactions between the drug the patient is already taking and the drug the doctor wants to prescribe.

Epocrates drug reference guide is available for multiple devices and offers clinicians:
Free medical Pocket PC software
Free medical Palm software
Free medical Windows Mobile software

There are some free medical applications for iphone that will be really useful for physicians.

Now when I see a doctor with a PDA I will not think he is taking a time for himself and getting fun.
