A doctor at a California hospital, David Sperling, knows the value of having the latest information about adverse drug reactions in a mobile application. "As a physician, your pocket space gets smaller and smaller with your pager and cell phone and all the other detritus of the profession," he told MacNewsWorld. "You don't want to add a thick pocket manual as well." Back in the 1990s, Sperling began using Epocrates'

Great article. Mac-integration into healthcare is certainly a growing market. As a tie-in to this article, I would like to bring to your reader's attention the rebirthing of an on-line community for physicians who use Mac technology in their practices, http://www.macdoctors.org

Again, thanks for the great article!
