Epocrates Adds Disease Information


August 5, 2008

Epocrates, best known for its online drug reference database, now also offers physicians free access to disease diagnosis and treatment information via the Internet.

The San Mateo, Calif.-based company developed the service, Epocrates Online, in partnership with BMJ Group, the London-based publisher of the British Medical Journal. Epocrates Online offers peer-reviewed content, prepared by physicians with the guidance of BMJ Group, that’s integrated with Epocrates’ drug database.

Disease-specific information includes an overview of the condition and risk factors, treatment approaches, suggestions of tests to order, and national medical society guidelines.

As with other services from San Mateo, Calif.-based Epocrates, physicians can pay an annual fee to subscribe to a premium version, with additional clinical content and decision support.
