Mobile apps are becoming more and more integrated into the everyday life of physicians; they're changing the way providers send and receive information. Doctors are now able to keep up on CMEs, connect with colleagues and treat patients like never before. Interested in exploring the world of healthcare apps? Here are four to consider:
If you don't use Doximity already, chances are you've heard about it. It's been referred to as "LinkedIn for physicians." It allows doctors to build a professional CV (based on education, training, certifications, publications, etc.), plus interact with colleagues. The platform also allows doctors to keep up on CMEs, securely share patient information and discuss complicated cases.
Epocrates is an all-in-one clinical resources app. Among other features, it provides a pill identifier, provider directory for consults or referrals, medical news and harmful prescription interaction checks. Because of its versatility, this is a great app for all healthcare professionals, not just physicians.
Omnio is one of the best medical reference apps out there. Doctors can ask questions in the app's reference suite, search a database of 2,600-plus brand-name and generic drugs, access a comprehensive medical calculator and more. One of the best things about Omnio is that it's highly customizable. Doctors can decide what's most important to them as a provider and place that information front and center.
MedCalc (check current pricing)
Just as the name implies, MedCalc is a medical calculator that offers more than 300 equations and formulas. Doctors can search by keywords, customize their "favorites" and access specialty-specific equations. Each equation is presented in an easy-to-read, easy-to-use format. MedCalc puts all the calculations you need in one centralized location.
