Sepsis Clinical Guide app

Sepsis Clinical Guide is the #1 app on the diagnosis and management of sepsis, a serious systemic infection that affects over 1 million people and results in over 250,000 deaths every year in the US alone.

The app contains comprehensive information on the signs and symptoms of sepsis, risk factors, diagnostic techniques, management approaches according to infection origin, and topics specific to the management of pediatric sepsis. Also included are a relevant drug guide and clinical scores used in sepsis management.

This is a professional app intended for intensive care and ER physicians, hospitalists, nurses and other healthcare professionals who treat seriously ill patients in acute care settings. Medical students and residents, especially those rotating through the ER and ICU, will also find it invaluable.

The app’s content is constantly being updated according to the latest practice guidelines from leading guideline making bodies such as the Surviving Sepsis Campaign. The app and all content updates are provided free of charge thanks to the generous support of Beckman Coulter, a global leader in the field of medical diagnostics.

Sepsis Timer app

In sepsis, every minute counts. Treatment delays can cost the patient’s life, but on busy hospital wards, delays and oversights can be common. SEPSIS TIMER is a timed checklist and clinical decision support app designed to help busy clinicians perform key sepsis treatment steps within recommended timelines.

SEPSIS TIMER is based on the Surviving Sepsis Campaign 3- and 6-hour sepsis treatment bundles that are also recommended by the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). SEPSIS TIMER allows users to easily schedule timers that issue periodic audio alerts and banner notifications until a checklist of required sepsis bundle steps is completed. Checklist completion times are recorded and summarized in a report so users can track and improve their response times.

The Chief Complaint app

The Chief Complaint is a point of care medical reference app for emergency medicine. The app was written by Dr. Chris Feier, MD, an ER physician and associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Southern California, and is based on a best-selling EM reference book by the same name. The Chief Complaint contains 100s of pages of up-to-date and evidence-based reference content presented in an algorithmic and easy to absorb manner that cover the most common conditions encountered in the ER.

Exhaustively referenced and containing a Journal Club feature and links to relevant external resources from EM:RAP, Essentials of Emergency Medicine, and theNTT.com for deeper content dives, The Chief Complaint is an invaluable reference for both trainees and experienced physicians.
