So I have some awesome apps I use for work all the time and would like to share. I would like to know if there are some other apps you guys use that are helpful as well.

Micromedex Drug Information: Love this, makes med reconciliation extremely easy.

Medscape

Pupil Gauge: It uses the iphone flash which is much brighter than my pen light.

Lab values: for rough reference, some hospitals have their own specific ranges, but this is a good thing to have when you have no idea what the range is.

ICD9 Consult

About Herbs: Has a feature for consumers and professionals. It shows what has been researched in small studies, meta-analyses, and it also tells you what medications it interacts with. Very good since there are so many herbs that patients take now.

Cam scanner: I can use this to snap a picture of my schedule turn it into a pdf and email to my agency. I don't have fax so this has been a lifesaver.
