ePocrates in the News The US Dept. of Health and Human Services is developing a system using handheld PDA’s to transmit urgent information about biological agents to clinicians. The 3-month pilot project will be managed by the Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). They are testing the “Doc Alerts” message feature in the ePocrates handheld system which is widely used by physicians in the U.S. The messages will be coded with the most urgent (category A) listed as biological diseases/agents, and web links will be included for additional information. For more details about this project, logon to: http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2003pres/20030321.html. Currently, anyone can download the free clinical drug database (Rx 6.0) version of ePocrates.
