Among medical mistakes, drug interactions are said to be the seventh leading cause of death, but a company new to the Princeton area is actively doing something about that.
Epocrates Inc., a California-based medical software technology firm, develops mobile clinical reference tools to help reduce medical errors. Employing PDAs or pocket PCs, it makes "point of care" information available to more than 500,000 healthcare professionals worldwide. The company claims that about 200,000 doctors, one-fourth of the doctors in the United States, use the Epocrates programs.
