Skyscape Medical Information Service
Each year health care professionals must assimilate and recall an increasing amount of medical facts and information about recent research, and they must do much of it on the run as they make their rounds. Now they can do so more easily, using an S60 3rd Edition device and the Skyscape medical information service. Through the use of this innovative application, clinicians can diagnose illnesses, determine treatment, prescribe medication, identify drug interactions, calculate dosages, consult the latest clinical guidelines and perform all necessary decisions involved with quality patient care right at the patient’s bedside using their handheld device. The service divides medical information by specialty and allows health care providers to select from the most-trusted medical information available. More than 35 specialties --from anesthesiology, cardiology and emergency medicine to toxicology and urology--are covered, and users can pick and choose resources to which they wish to subscribe. The information ranges from free sources to individually-priced reference books.

Skyscape makes available more than 300 medical resources -- the largest mobile medical portfolio for Symbian devices anywhere in the world. Searching for information is intuitive and flows logically. Having this type of information at the point of care reduces medical errors, saves time and money, improves the quality of care, and enhances patient satisfaction. In addition, U.K. users have access to the largest mobile library of UK-specific clinical content -- including the gold-standard British National Formulary (BNF) and British National Formulary for Children (BNFC) as well as the Oxford Handbooks. Other reference information includes listings of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Skyscape already serves 750,000 health care professionals globally, including 250,000 physicians. The company has established relationships with more than 45 medical publishing companies. The Skyscape service is currently offered in English and is available worldwide through the Skyscape, Inc. Web site. For more information and to purchase, visit www.skyscape.com.
