Medical Practice
Medical Economics picked the “Best Programs for Your Handheld” for their March 7, 2008 issue. Their recommendations included:
Epocrates Rx Freeware
“To call it a drug reference program doesn’t do it justice.” This popular handheld drug reference is continually updated with the latest medications, indications, and interactions, and comes with medical news, calculators, CME, and more.
eRx NOW Browser-based software is free; to interface with your practice mgmt system, contact for pricing
“eRx NOW was developed by Allscripts, a founding member of NEPSI, a coalition dedicated to the proposition that prescriptions should be written electronically. The impressive membership roster of NEPSI—national and regional health insurers, hospital systems, large multispecialty groups, and technology companies like Microsoft and Sprint—illustrates how the private sector is lining up with the federal government to make e-prescribing the norm.”
Patient Keeper Contact for pricing
“Patient-tracking software shines in a hospital or nursing home where a rounding doctor needs to know who's in what room, make chart notes, and capture charges.”
Shots 2008 Freeware
“Whether you're giving a polio vaccine to a baby or a flu vaccine to a senior, Shots 2008 spells out everything you need to know.”
