My favorite is called ICD 10 Professional http://bit.ly/nvXOPu
The reason I like it is because it works great on my tablet and always works offline.

I recently ported Prognosis : Your Diagnosis (http://www.prognosisapp.com) for the Android. It aims to ‘make clinical cases fun’ by using a cartoon style narrative.

The iPhone version was the #1 free medical app in the US last month, and the Android version is already a top #10 free app in the market.

iMedicalApps also listed it as one of the top 20 medical apps for 2010.

I agree on the need to update, the iPhone list was recently updated! CORE – Clinical ORthopaedic Exam made the list for iPhone. It has great reviews and a great reception in the Android community as well. Curious to see the updated list!

Android app WoundFollowUp makes it easy to submit pictures of a wound to the http://www.WoundFollowUp.com system. A wound care nurse sees your picture and calls or emails you with advice. The software can be used by any wound care clinic.

Check out Concentrica for secure clinical communications.
—
My partner and I head two hospitalists groups in the Boston area, one acute care, the other a rehab hospital. For years our handoff communications went through paper mail or fax. We were very diligent about communication. Even so, specialist from acute care settings and primary care physicians in the community complained that our group was like a black box – that they were not getting good communication about the care we were providing. The hospital even setup a physician portal so that any on-staff doctor could log in remotely and access their patient’s information. But this “pull” model never caught on, as most doctors expect data to be “pushed” out to them.

One of our new physicians suggested we look at Concentrica, which is an online network for secure clinical communication. This is free to physicians to communicate with each other. The national directory of physicians meant that we could quickly send to any physician, without having to know their fax or email. Like an online email system, recipients can reply and forward messages, so now we could get immediate feedback from colleagues in other locations, and in important cases, have a real dialog about patient care. The “Group Discussions” feature allows the specialist in town, the hospitalist, and the PCP to all join in an online dialog about one patient.

The application works well on our smartphones.

When our group wanted to send documents on our behalf, we upgraded to the subscription version, which cost less than paying someone in our office to fax the documents. There is an audit trail so we can see who received their messages. One feature we really liked was that if the message was not accessed online it was faxed, so we knew our clinical work was getting there.

For our group it made it easy to communicate with other physicians, to get our documents out, gave a way for others to respond, and was cost effective.
