Rob Spence, a third-year emergency medicine resident at Wright State University, recently e-mailed me about several emergency medicine resources he's developed.
ED Tracker is an application designed to replace that little piece of paper emergency physicians use to keep track of their patients. In addition, it adds a few more bells and whistles to streamline patient care. Designed by an emergency physician, ED Tracker was written with speed in mind.
Procedure Database, developed for internal use at Wright State University, is a means to track the procedures you've done in the ED (or for residents, on off-service rotations). It's pretty quick, and it's free.
PalmPEP (Coming soon!) The folks at UCLA have created a fantastic resource called Needlestick, which leads you through the quagmire of post-exposure prophylaxis protocols. This application, which should be released in the next couple of weeks, provides a simple question-and-answer system that quickly allows you to determine exposure risk, necessary diagnostic testing, and empiric treatment in the ED.
