Drug References ePocrates, very helpful drug information (basically an electronic version of the pocket pharmacopoeia) -- program is free and downloads in less than 10 minutes! Updated version!!! Publishers of the Pocket Pharmacopia - Now there is a FREE Palm Version available HERE! Lexidrugs by K2 Consultants PDR2000 from Franklin is now available as a springboard module! [Visor Only] Commentary: For students, there are now two free products available, ePocrates and the ePharmacopoeia I have yet to pass judgement on the new ePharmacopoeia, but look for ePocrates to add Mechanism of Action shortly.
Commercial Medical References K2 Consultants home to ID Book 2000, The 5 Minute Clinical Consult, Apothecarium, and more. Handheldmed.com - formerly @handmedical, extensive medical reference library including the Merck Manual, 5 Minute Clinical Consult, Harrison's companion, Principles of Critical Care and more. Franklin now home to several medical books. Commentary: The 5 Minute Clinical Consult (K2 Consultants Version) is indespensible for any medical student ever on call!
Medical Calculators Both free, easy to use, with minor differences between them.
Evidence Based Medicine Calculator MedRules - includes clinical prediction rules based on verified journal articles. Practice EBM straight from your Palm!
Patient Tracking PatientKeeper - A widely used, inexpensive patient tracking program! WardWatch - Another inexpensive patient tracking program. An organization tool which allows you to keep all your patient information on your palm, but you have to enter it. A keyboard might make the data entry quicker, although both programs help with check boxes and more.
Journal Content Avantgo Web Reader and Content Provider - Includes content from the New England Journal and Evidence Based Medicine formatted for easy access with the PalmPilot Journal To Go - Download and Read abstracts on the go!
For the Management (Tools that can be implemented on a systems level) WeSync lets you manage multiple calendars, which has been used in residency to allow a resident to have a personal and a practice calendar. ePhysician - tools on the cutting edge of handheld medicine.
