The guide is also available as a PDA application. Now this important clinical reference is mobile.
PDAs have been shown to aid diagnosis and drug selection. Data capture and retrieval using a PDA enhances patient care and improves efficiency. Using a mobile device at the point of care provides timely access to accurate, up-to-the-minute information enabling a healthcare practitioner to provide better care at lower costs, save time, and minimize errors.
"Having the resources at my fingertips has definitely helped make me a better doctor, and as a visual learner, helped me learn more quickly. When I'm on the go, I rely solely on my PDA resources."
