Family Practitioners Embracing Mobile Medical Reference Solutions
Family Practitioners are enthusiastically embracing the use of mobile medical reference solutions and cite the timeliness of information and help in reducing medical errors among the greatest benefits, according to Skyscape, Inc., the leading provider of interactive mobile references for over 475,000 medical professionals.
"Already well aware of the personal productivity advantages of PDAs, a rapidly increasing number of family practitioners are employing their mobile devices as digital medical reference tools," said Sandeep Shah, president and CEO of Skyscape.
The value of digital medical reference solutions among family practitioners is clear, Shah said. Physicians cite the timeliness of information and ability to instantly cross-index information between titles as the top two reasons for adopting the technology. Additional benefits include the accuracy and safety of referencing information from trusted sources, improving the quality of patient treatment at the point of care, and enhancements in personal productivity and efficiency.
