Better Learning and Performance
Recent studies demonstrate that PEPID can be a key contributor to better education and clinical performance for physicians.
A project at Duke University showed that adopting PEPID on PDAs can make significant contributions to the development of leadership skills, enhanced learning, reinforcement of core knowledge, and building student confidence. The project also found that PDAs are especially useful in clinical settings, where other resources may not be readily available.
A University of Toronto study shows that physicians using PEPID on PDAs improved their clinical performance by 50 percent. The physicians who did not use PEPID showed no improvement. The researchers noted that doctors, who used books and other traditional references, took from 10 to 15 minutes to find answers to clinical questions — when they bothered to look them up at all. Those using PEPID software found their answers in an average of 19 seconds. The study concludes that physicians who use a handheld device to access medical information improve the speed and quality of their diagnoses (Lapinsky, et al).

Delivered All Ways
PEPID is delivered all ways: as PDA software or web service; online or wireless. You can have PEPID on your PDA in class and on the floor, and online at home.
Our suites are available for individual or multiple users.
PEPID also offers site licenses for entire healthcare information systems, departments, and clinics.
As students move between classrooms, libraries, hospitals and clinics, PEPID™ Clinical Rotation Companion (CRC) travels with them to deliver authoritative information that is specifically designed for the clinical rotation. Rotation-specific topics include step-by-step instructions for patient history and physical exam, admit and discharge orders, SOAP notes, cross-coverage protocols and more.
PEPID CRC is designed to support your curriculum. PEPID CRC also contains the most comprehensive point-of-care resource for all practicing physicians, including family practice, hospital and ambulatory care. There are detailed monographs on virtually every disease, condition, or drug a clinician will encounter in an office or hospital setting. Point-of-care tools (such as drug and medical calculators, and a drug interactions generator) are embedded in medical and drug monographs.
Evidence-based medicine makes PEPID a valuable research tool that provides references on a wide range of topics within one fast-access resource. Only PEPID CRC can deliver evidence-based Clinical Inquiries™ and Help-Desk Answers™. Inclusion of this exclusive evidence-based medicine is the result of a unique collaboration between PEPID and the prestigious Family Physicians Inquiries Network™ (FPIN). Using PEPID CRC, medical students and training physicians not only have treatment recommendations, they also have the research to back them up.
Help-Desk Answers takes a look at the most current, asked for research; and interprets how it affects day-to-day clinical practice. FPIN Clinical Inquiries provide the most thoroughly researched answers to questions from clinicians. The best evidence-based medicine plus the most current research — it’s a one-two punch that only PEPID can deliver.
CRC has recently been enhanced with high-resolution images including exclusive anatomical illustrations and enhanced rhythm strips. Rendered under the direction of physicians, these are images clinicians will use. Now healthcare professionals and students, using their PDAs or PEPID Online, have high-resolution visual resources at their fingertips—ideal for patient education.
Packed with pearls from experienced practitioners, PEPID CRC is the ideal mobile reference software for all medical students and training physicians. With PEPID, the transition from training physician to practicing professional is seamless. PEPID is the only single-source reference that enhances the educational experience from the classroom to bedside … and beyond.
