Micromedex 2.0 is now available for both the web and for mobile access

Micromedex 2.0 provides direct web and mobile access to Micromedex drug information through a new user interface with a single search box.

New features include:

• an interface based on clinician workflow patterns
• enhanced search capabilities
• special tabs for high-usage tools
• compatibility with iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry smartphones, and other mobile devices.
• New search functionality allows for multi-term search, predictive text, synonyms and suggestions for alternate spellings.
• New single search box on every page
• Highly used features — such as dosing calculators, Trissel’s IV compatibility, drug identification, and drug interaction checking — have been pulled into separate tabs so they can be accessed and used quickly.

Also, Micromedex 2.0 also simplifies how clinicians see results. The new 360-degree view of results provides a complete picture of all available information about a drug or condition on a single screen — including drug summaries, images, consults, comparative efficacy information, labeled and off-label indications, treatment options, and more.
