Thank you for taking the time to evaluate FamilyMD...
the Primary Care Information Tool!
____________________________________________________________
Just imagine having an easy to use program which can:
1) Determine a list of possible drug interactions
for a patient taking 7 or 8 medications.
2) Print a report showing a 40 year old smoker his risk
of having a heart attack, then tell him how much it
decreases if he quits smoking and/or lowers his
cholesterol!
3) Suggest the drug of choice for sinusitis in a 7 year
old child.
4) Show you an entertaining medical quote.
5) Calculate the APACHE II (Acute Physiologic And Chronic
Health Evaluation) score for a critically ill patient.
6) Calculate the proper IV rates for a dehydrated child,
taking into account their weight, degree of dehydration
and initial fluid bolus, and print the results in report
form.
7) Determine the loading and maintenance doses for gentamicin
in an older patient with mild renal failure.
8) Save a workup for renovascular hypertension which you
just read about in PostGraduate Medicine, for easy access
every time you run FamilyMD.
9) See a detailed high-resolution Acid-base nomogram for help
in interpreting an arterial blood gas.
10) And much more!
Written by a board certified family physician in private practice,
FamilyMD is designed to provide the information you need everyday
in the care of patients. An excellent teaching tool, FamilyMD
is also available at a reduced rate for orders of more than 5
copies.
To run the Demo:
1) Type FAMILYMD at the DOS prompt, then press <Enter>
2) Use the arrow keys to move the cursor (light bar),
and the <Enter> key to open a menu or run an item.
3) Press <F1> at any time for help, and <Esc> at any
time to quit an item or close a menu.
While all of the functions, calculators, topics, interactions and
medications could not be included in the Demo, I believe it gives
you a good idea of just how easy and powerful this program is! To
order, select Print Orderform from within the program, or print the
ORDERFRM.TXT file.
Thank you for your time...I hope FamilyMD proves to be a
useful addition to your software library!
