Medical assistant software

In today's health environment with added pressure of getting everything done quickly any resource that can assist has to be taken advantage of. Many physicians are using PDA's and computer's to assist them in quickly reviewing medical information using online drug reference programs from companies like Epocrates. The programs allow them to check interactions between drugs before prescriptions are written. With the increased emphasis on technology they have recently released software for the Blackberry device and is working on developing programs for the Apple IPhone. This is a great resource for physicians and allows them to make important decisions without having to leave the exam room. Patients also benefit because these programs can speed up wait times by providing the information needed at the touch of a button as compared to searching through volumes of books as would have been done in years gone by.
