Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference Handheld Software is navigated through the MobiPocket ReaderPro, making it virtually platform-independent. It is compatible with the PalmOS, Windows CE, and Pocket PC--as well as 4 other operating systems. The ReaderPro is small enough that it will not slow down even older devices, and it offers many useful built-in features, including full text search, annotation and highlighting capability, bookmarks with easy link-style navigation, adjustable font size, type, text alignment, and color, multiple indexes, removable memory card support, and a customizable toolbar.
- A consistent format and a unique sequence present information in a way that simulates priorities in a clinical setting.
- Fifteen new test entries - including bone turnover biochemical markers (osteocalcin), breast tumor analysis, diabetes mellitus autoanitibody panel (insulin antibody), genetic testing, and HIV viral load - present the latest tests and procedures.
- General Test Procedures provides a summary and set of guidelines for each type of laboratory test and diagnostic procedure to ensure safety and accuracy.
- Normal findings are included for adult (male and female), elderly, and pediatric patients, where applicable, to provide complete clinical data.
- Possible critical values are highlighted to alert users to situations requiring immediate intervention.
- Each test has the ability to be annotated, so users can add their own information.
- Indexes of tests by body system and test type allow users to quickly access related studies, and indexes of common and abbreviated names make it easy to find a specific text fast.
