Tarascon Hospital Medicine app for iPhone and iPad

Same as always, another true, it knows what you are looking for quick reference from Dr. Esherick. Most common encounters in the ICU and medicine floors right as you open, starting with Code Algorithms at the very top. Lots of simple and clear charts. Updated clinical information. Automatic App updates. Nice layouts and not cramped. As you open the app, the most common topics encountered are listed. As you click on each topic into each folders and subfolders, the names of those are listed on the top of every page. So, if you need to retrieve any information you opened, you can simply click the link on top of the page. Under the tool section, there are plenty of figures and tables of up-to-date algorithms and pictures. They also have very intuitive breakdowns of differential diagnoses and blurbs of what to look for and how to approach treatments along with figures and charts linked directly on that specific page. The way the menues are designed resemble closely to the flow of clinical decision making. It is difficult to get lost while navigating this app. Well designed. To-the-point answers to common questions. A definite helpful tool in aid of your clinical decision making. Intuitive.

As with the pocketbook manuals, this app brings up to date clinical information to your fingertips. Well organized and easy to use reference for hospitalists, residents, and medical students. Highly recommended!

Definitely an app worth downloading. Tarascon Hospital Medicine is so well organized and easy to use for doctors on the go in the hospital. All of the most common diagnoses encountered in the hospital and the ICU are well-documented and clearly outlined in terms of diagnosis and clinical management. There are many easy-to-use tables and algorithms, which makes it easy to apply to every-day life on the medicine wards. Any doctor taking care of inpatients should highly consider buying this app and benefit from the new udpates as medicine continues to evolve.

I have the pocket book version and when I saw this app I was thrilled one less book in my white coat. You definitely want this with you if you practice hospital medicine. It is amazingly comprehensive yet free of non-essentials. It also has a critical care section with all the "must know" topics. Very uptodate and evidence based. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

I have carried around a version of Dr. Eshericks book since I was an intern with a white coat full of books. His was the only one I have continued to carry around as an attending. Having this available on the iPhone allowed me to round book free. The iPhone version is great as it allows me to quickly find the reference material Im looking for. I am still amazed by the volume of information he was able to pack into a small book, and now a small low priced app.

This application is evidenced based and well organized. It loads quickly and is comprehensive. With this application, epocrates and a few medical calculators, I have every resource needed to care for hospitalized patients. This app is ideal for residents and other physicians who care for hospitalized patients on a regular basis. If you need ONE resource that is current and complete, this is it!

I am a hospitalist, This is a terrible app, not enough detail, no search, not worth the money!

Not worth $20 when you can get the same info in a $0.99 app. What is missing from this app in comparison to the Internal Medicine/Critical Care Pocketbook (purple book) is all of the diagrams and practical information, such as temporary pacing, vent setup, IABP setup and troubleshooting and much more. I was a die-hard Tarascon supporter to the point that I ensured that all of the staff in our cath lab were issued the purple book and had it in their pockets at all times. So, my read on the app is this: Tarascon is riding on their reputation, but only used materials that were easily cut/paste to app form. The best materials are left out. Shame on you, Tarascon!

Not worth the $20 when there are $.99 apps that are far better, more concise, more informative, and easier to retrieve. I regret buying this. Dont make the same mistake.

I have an old IM & CC pocketbook that I wanted to replace with a phone app so I got this. Unfortunately, this app is poorly formatted for a mobile app. Very amateurish. Also, Im not finding some very basic tables that I would expect, like the hyponatremia table. Other tables are kinda nonsense, like, why are criteria for transudates and exudates on two separate tables?? This should be laid out side by side. Really a disappointment. Id expect this lack of quality in a $0.99 app.
