Free Epocrates Rx
Epocrates offers a wide-range of medical software titles, but
the free Epocrates Rx is one of the best, particularly considering
the price. The software includes names and details of more than
3,300 prescription drugs. The list is completely searchable so
medical professionals can find what they need quickly.
The software also includes a multicheck drug-interaction checker.
A nurse or physician can enter up to thirty different types of
medications to ensure there is no possibility of an interaction
which can prevent life-threatening emergencies for patients.
The software also includes medical calculators and peer-reviewed
information about drug safety, side effects, and more.
Free Epocrates Rx can be used with both Microsoft and Palm operating
systems on handheld devices, plus Windows and MacIntosh operating
systems on PCs and laptops.
Epocrates Online
Epocrates Online is another service provided by the site. Registration
in the program is completely free, but it provides several benefits
for site users.
By registering as an Epocrates Online member, individuals
can download free software from the site and can access the
site's free drug formulary reference material. Additionally,
Epocrates Online members are able to purchase other products
and licenses through the site.
Epocrates Honors, part of the online community, provides a
venue for medical market research panels. This allows members
to have a voice regarding the latest medical trends and challenges,
albeit in the context of marketing reports to paying customers
of Epocrates.
Epocrates Linx
Besides the software available through Epocrates, the site
also offers a service known as Epocrates Linx. Through this
service, all of the aspects of a medical practice, including
billing, prescribing, and other software, can be automatically
updated through the Epocrates site.
This service means the practice's information will always
be up-to-date. Plus, the updates can be completed in considerably
less time.
