dFinder vs. PDR: dFinder is very CUSTOMIZABLE for the specific drugs that are most frequently prescribed by the user or those that are available on formulary per institution. Most of the time, depending on the specialty, only a handful of drugs are prescribed on a regular basis. This Newton package is in no way meant to be a replacement for PDR or USP DI or other "drug bible". Q&D dFinder provides fast access to the drug information required by the user!
Future enhancements: Look for multiple classes of drugs for sorting, as well as multiple soups.
Future Quick & Dirty products: The format and Ideology behind Q&D project allows for easy entry of user customizable information which can be easily utilized for other important functions in Medicine.
Q&D Patient Orders Manager
Q&D Lab Data Manager
Q&D Hospital and Physician Phone List (with possible Map input)
Q&D To Do List (sorted by patient, type of To Do, etc.)
Q&D Patient Manager (with beaming of rounds list or other template beaming/printing)
Q&D History and Physical (including basic graphics input).
Hopefully linking will be available between all or a partial list of these components! Full routing capabilities, including beaming, are high on the priority list.
MACINTOSH connectivity: Hopefully a series of Q&D projects can be completed on the Mac via HyperCard, FileMaker Pro, or other simple-to-use software, to allow a nice Newton/Mac package of Medical software.
OBJECTIVES: The ULTIMATE goal of Q&D products is to provide a very practical, and customizable, data retrieval system utilizing Newton Technology.
