In today's fast-paced medical environments, being able to diagnose and treat patients quickly and efficiently is a necessity. Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult (5MCC) has been helping medical professionals meet this need.

Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult for the PDA

Medical professionals needing an easy, but comprehensive, reference for diagnosing and treating patients have found 5MCC to be the answer they had been waiting for. In fact, this version of Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult has been the best-selling handheld version since 1994. 5MCC contains facts for more than 1,000 medical and surgical conditions indexed by more than 7,500 terms and medications to help medical professionals find what they need quickly so they diagnose and treat their patients accurately without needless delays.

Each topic is organized for quick reference - it's the "pimping" information your attending is going to want to hear on morning rounds. This is not the Harrison's Internal Medicine version, but it gets you the basics quickly.

The 2006 edition of 5MCC includes even more topics, such as:

• Genetic Risk Assessment and BRCA Mutation Testing for Breast and Ovarian Cancer Susceptibility
• Overweight Children and Adolescents
• Screening for Obesity in Adults
• 77 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines on screening, counseling, immunizations, and chemoprophylaxis

Here's how to download the 5-Minute Clinical Consult onto PDA.

Additionally, Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult includes an ICD-9-CM code index to make classifying and coding diseases simpler, an integrated calculator to make using specific medical formulas easier, and a sign and symptom index so medical professionals can quickly track down the cause of a patient's complaint.

Because this version of 5MCC is compatible with Palm OS®, Windows Mobile™ Pocket PC, and Windows Tablet PC/Desktop PC, medical professionals can benefit from the wisdom and experience of the more than 330 clinicians who wrote Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult whenever and wherever they need it.
