Hi There,

Just wanted the readers of your blog to know that our premium Epocrates® Essentials suite for the iPhone™ and iPod Touch™ is now available! Until now, the premium software was available only on Palm and Windows Mobile devices.

This new version of Epocrates Essentials takes advantage of the touch-screen interface, and provides clinicians with new Peer-reviewed disease content and evidence-based differential diagnosis developed in conjunction with the BMJ Group, publisher of the British Medical Journal.

It also includes hundreds of diagnostic and laboratory tests for interpretation and diagnostic support and MedMath medical calculators!

The Epocrates Essentials premium application is now available for purchase at http://www.epocrates.com/products/essentials/iphone.html.

Best wishes,
The Epocrates Team

I am looking at switching to iphone from palm.

I find the “ID” section of epocrates (available on palm) very useful and don’t see it on iphone version. Any comments?

Jeff, my iPhone lasts easily through a 12-hour shift with pretty consistent usage. I find that I can typically get through a 24-hour day or better without having to recharge.
And I agree with 10/10, the ePocrates app for iPhone is way cooler than what I used to use on my Palm. When I went iPhone, I complained that the two things it lacked were ePocrates capability and a functional to-do list. Now with the 2.1 update, even my first-gen iPhone has everything I want it to. (And even some cool timewasters like virtual bubble-wrap and a nifty free app called Shazam which will listen to any song that’s playing and tell you who it is and what it’s called, etc.)

Jeff,

I bought a case on-line and wear it on my hip, I agree you don’t want it laying around.

It shuts itself off after maybe 20 seconds of inactivity, so haven’t even gone thru half the battery in any given shift.

What I would like to know is how’s the battery life issue? I normally have 10 hour shifts and the posted life is about five hours – I would not want my iPhone unattended at any station/desk in my ER . . . any thoughts on this one aspect? Granted I wouldn’t be using it all the time but new toys tend to get a lot of use up front.

Dude. Three of the other ER docs I read are on vacation. Where are you?

I guess 10/10 is busy playing with his new iPhone and not posting new blog entries…
