Software to bring evidence-based information
to the point-of-care. InfoRetriever is software that claims to
provide key resources for primary care physicians in a highly
portable, fully indexed format on the Newton MP2000/2100 or
E-Mate series of handheld computers. A demo may be downloaded
from their site. InfoRetriever includes: over 260 abstracts from
the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, with over 100 new
reviews added annually, over 240 critical appraisals from the
Journal of Family Practice POEMs feature, with 96 more added
annually, a diagnostic test calculator (sensitivity,
specificity, likelihood ratios, and post-test probabilities for
over 200 common tests), a history and physical exam compendium,
evidence tables and summaries from key evidence-based treatment
guidelines (AHCPR, USPSTF, others), useful clinical prediction
rules for important conditions like chest pain, sore throat, and
pneumonia. The producers plan to provide updates at least every
3 months, synchronized with the release of the quarterly update
to the Cochrane Library. Each update will include new Cochrane
Library abstracts, JFP POEMs, and new diagnostic test data.
