  • Title: Use of personal digital assistant devices in order to access, consult and apply a corpus of clinical guidelines and decision-based support documentation like the Italian SPREAD Guidelines on stroke disease.

    Journal: Neurol Sci; 2006 Jun; 27 Suppl 3():S238-9. PubMed ID: 16752057.
    Abstract:
    During the past few years, personal digital assistants (PDAs) have become widespread commodities, like computers and mobile phones. Many health-care providers, particularly physicians, routinely use PDAs in their everyday work. Accessing guidelines and clinical decision-based support tools, such as the downloadable version of the Italian SPREAD Guidelines represents one of the most important and common clinical applications. The current experience suggests that the need for best evidence models at the time of decision making is strong and that portable accessibility is critical: including just-in-time information systems that allow physicians to retrieve the best evidence at the point of care, and a standardized electronic health record (EHR) easily integrating into daily practice and is affordable to most family physicians.
