New Mobile Features — Customer Comments

We've received a lot of great customer feedback about Epocrates' new mobile features, including the "my" tab, safety/monitoring content, memory card support, and free 60-day trial of Epocrates Essentials premium software.

Here are some of our favorite comments:

The "View History" is a wonderful addition. It allows me to quickly access recent entries which I use more frequently.
Christine Pasinski, NP

The new version has reduced the need for other references and is faster to use. This means a savings of both time and money – something we interns hold dear.
Joseph Pye, MD

More memory card support is a huge help. You have taken this "almost perfect" product one step closer.
James Frick, PA-C

If you wanted to assist with a major healthcare crisis, what do you foresee to be the biggest obstacle?

State regulations
Lack of time
Insurance
Patient obligations
Family obligations
Employer
Cost

Please note that poll questions can only be answered in the HTML version of our email newsletter.

Last Month's Poll: We asked you whether people with unhealthy lifestyles should pay higher insurance premiums.
80% said YES.
