As our society has grown more technologically dependent and as the need for accurate medical documentation continues to increase, medical professionals have been forced to become more computer-savvy. The use of the personal digital assistant (PDA) has spread throughout many professions, and medicine is no exception. PDAs provide convenient handheld access to a wealth of information, which can be helpful in both documentation and clinical decision-making.

Information at Your Fingertips
Nurses and clinicians are able to use PDA software to find exactly what they need at a moment's notice, without the inconvenience or impracticality of sitting in front of the nearest computer. LWW offers several essential software products for nursing practitioners, including Nursing 2008 Drug Handbook for PDA. The PDA version of this trusted resource for nurses, students, faculty and advanced practice nurses includes brand-name and generic drugs, therapeutic actions, indications and contra-indications, dosages, adverse effects, interactions and much more.

Physicians and non-nursing practitioners can also find a wide variety of PDA products. That means that you can have an enormous array of up-to-date, comprehensive information in the palm of your hand. Products such as Pocket Medicine: The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Internal Medicine for PDA, 5 Minute Clinical Consult for PDA, Wills Eye Manual for PDA, and the Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics for PDA make it easy and quick to get the information you need--precisely when you need it. Better still, these products and more may be downloaded immediately upon purchase.
