Skyscape Urges Docs to Change Channels

Skyscape has introduced a service designed to give providers PDA access to various "channels" of medical information. The vendor's ARTbeat application disseminates medical newsletters, journals and drug alerts to physicians via hand-held devices.

The initial free ARTbeat channels include: MedWatch, the Food & Drug Administration's Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program; CDC Spotlights, a weekly update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Connections, which offers general medical information. Other channels that are available via annual subscription include Drug News Weekly and DrugLink. Skyscape plans to add complimentary and subscription channels in the future.

Provider organizations also can use ARTbeat to disseminate their own information to physicians, including workflow guidelines and best practices. The application's pricing is based on the frequency and type of channel updates desired by an organization. Physicians can download the basic ARTbeat application for free at www.skyscape.com.
