Handheld CPG Applications

AMDA will be offering Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in a handheld computer application. They will provide all of the content of the paper copies in an easy to use and navigate design. The handheld CPGs will allow quick reference to text sections, section tables, and the treatment algorithm. New and innovative functionality will include the ability to record a patient session while navigating and being guided through the care algorithm. The session data will be able to be synchronized to a desktop PC for printing and more efficient patient interaction and record keeping.

"Pain Management in the Long-Term Care Setting" is the first CPG available in this format. Members are able to purchase this product at an introductory rate of $49.95 ($99.95 for non-members). For more information or to order, go to www.amda.com/info.
