PDA's - Our alum Jonathan Scheffer has an excellent site for free and non-free PDA medical information programs. It serves as a repository for others from around the country. www.meistermed.com. For many of the programs, one needs to have ISilo software on their PDA. Here is a link to his free/non-free programs:

Jonathan teaches a class on how to create PDA files (that one can pass around). We are looking into options to share providers' PDA files and make them available for download to all of our providers. Other paid sites include: www.handheldmed.com and www.pdamd.com

I've been hearing great things from others and been finding a lot of value in this program.
A few great highlights are the Patient Handouts (gives choices from different sources, English and Spanish), straightforward very useful practice info usable while seeing patients, links to Guidelines and Articles, and the weekly updates. We can also give you a code to be able to download to your PDA - just send Carol Raymond or me an email.

CME Corner/Blog 7/7/08
1) Our CME Program got a 2 year Re-Accreditation!!!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this huge application/site visit - especially David Pepper, Jeremy Fish, Melinda Coby, Heather Wong, Joseph Chase, Nikeya Smith, Danielle Brodus-Zamora, John Lee, Keith White, Jeff Smith, Steve Tremain, Melinda Cody, and our excellent Medical Education Committee. The Institute for Medical Quality have increased the standards substantially in the last few years and we are very happy with this outcome. They were impressed by the breadth of our program, the availability of Distance Conferences, and our movement towards improving evaluation and planning based on the needs of our learners. They are striving for practice/performance improvement as their model for CME - and we will be adjusting our programming in these ways, while also responding to input from the residency and residents for their education. While some of the needs are different, I believe we can serve both the residents and our staff well. To create space for different conferences, we will be making changes to our present programming.
New conferences, ongoing or planned:
Challenging Outpatient Cases (Pepper/Lee)
Performance Improvement (Rael/Pepper)
Resident Journal Club (Carey/Siegel/Pepper/Tzieveli)
Multi-disciplinary conferences (Michele Madlock, Ed & Training)
Case-based (Saffier)
2) Tai Roe and I are starting to work with the IT dept. on developing an ISite area (CCHS intranet http://cchs/) for medical providers and residency information. We will be sending out a survey to get input - but please send your ideas at any time to either one of us for what information you would like to have there. We are trying to make it as easy as possible to get to that information.
