Using Clinical Decision Support to Meet Your HIE Objectives

"Meaningful use" continues to be a strong buzz phrase in the world of health information technology. After all, if you want to receive incentives from the government, then you'll have to demonstrate "meaningful use." There's an upcoming webinar titled, "Using Clinical Decision Support to Meet Your HIE Objectives."

This webinar is sponsored by PEPID and it will cover "how you can meet your HIE objectives and achieve meaningful use through clinical decision support." 

• How to achieve TRUE “meaningful use”
• What content and features are important to healthcare professionals
• Developing a HIT system that maximizes usability
• How to integrate clinical decision support into any EMR, EHR, EDIS, CPOE or HIT system
• How the right API can drive down costs, maximize workflow and improve efficiency
• Overcoming nomenclature obstacles and lowering switching costs
• Enhancing web portals with clinical decision support and drug data

Hear from the experts who have extensive experience in both wireless and system integration and have been implemented in hundreds of systems, hospitals and clinics worldwide.

Medical Software for the BlackBerry Storm

With all the recent buzz about the BlackBerry Storm 2 (which won't have the clickable SurePress screen), I've been inundated with questions about medical software for the BlackBerry Storm. Why do I get so many questions? Because I also author the site: http://www.medicalsmartphones.com

There are several options for physicians, medical students, nurses, and pharmacists who are looking for medical software for their BlackBerry Storm. Let me start by highlighting 3 of those:

• The first is Epocrates. Epocrates is a great free mobile drug and formulary reference. I've been using it for many years.
• Now, if you're willing to spend some money, then you could also use PEPID.
• Finally, QxMD is also free. Great for medical calculators.

There are obviously others and I'll be highlighting them in future posts.

Finally, don't forget about this special offer: Free Epocrates Rx PRO through BlackBerry
