What's New

Here's a new twist on antibiotic recommendations. TheraDoc, a free service provided by MerckMedicus (also a free service), provides the clinician the ability to generate a patient-specific and disease-specific evidence-based antibiotic recommendation. The clinician can enter key patient demographic information and then by answering a series of disease specific questions, receive an antibiotic recommendation tailored to the needs of the patient. In addition to their web site, TheraDoc provides Palm OS and Pocket PC versions of their application. To download them, you first have to register with MerckMedicus. Then, click on the TheraDoc link on their home page (shown under "Clinical Tools" on the right-hand side of the screen). This will take you to the TheraDoc site. From there, first click on the graphic image (a computer display, Palm and Pocket PC device), then click on the "Downloads" button near the top of the screen. Follow the instructions to download and install the correct version of the program for your PDA. Thanks to Alvin Lin for bringing this to my attention!
