When dispensing antibiotics, determining who should get which medication is an important question, but the rules can be confusing, and paper forms are not efficient.
Working closely with our partners at the Montgomery County, Maryland, Advanced Practice Center for Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response, we have developed and released eMedCheck, an electronic medication screening form that can be run on a PDA.
The screening form determines who should receive Doxy, Cipro, or neither. The decision rules used in eMedCheck are identical to those in a medication screening form developed by the National Capital Region.
Instructions for downloading the software and installing it on your Palm PDA are included with the software.
