PEPID to Launch Its Application for the Apple iPad at #HIMSS11

Phoenix, AZ — February 9, 2011 — PEPID, the leading developer of clinical decision-support information and technology for doctors and nurses, will officially launch its Apple iPad® application at HIMSS11, making it the first point-of-care application designed to take full advantage of the device.

Those attending HIMSS February 20-24 in Orlando are encouraged to stop by PEPID’s booth #663 to see a demonstration and the official launch of the PEPID for iPad application. The official launch of the PEPID for iPad application will be held at the PEPID reception Tuesday, February 22 from 4:30-6:30 on the HIMSS exhibit floor.

“I truly believe the iPad and other tablet PCs will play a significant role in the future of healthcare, and I’m pleased to add iPad to our list of supported platforms,” says John Wagner, president. “We’re proud to be a first mover on the device, providing healthcare professionals with critical information at the bedside from their iPad.”



PEPID recently conducted a beta program for the application, and had an overwhelming response as the application was widely praised and accepted by testers.

The hottest topics in healthcare IT are being covered at the HIMSS conference this year: meaningful use, health information exchange (HIE) and mobile technologies. PEPID is an integral part of that excitement – by introducing its Apple iPad application, allowing clinicians to bring critical information to the bedside.

PEPID is recognized as having the most extensive drug database on the market today, along with thousands of disease profiles and medical conditions, medical and dosing calculators, a drug interaction checker, illustrations, laboratory values and a symptom checker — all of which are now available for the Apple iPad.

“The new PEPID iPad application takes advantage of the device’s large screen and intuitive user interface,” says Edward Reynolds, chief technology officer. “Our tab navigation interface easily allows healthcare professionals to check for interactions, diagnose a patient, look up diseases and clinical conditions or find proper dosing quickly and easily.”

PEPID’s specialty-focused suites are available for purchase from pepid.com/ipad, and the application can be downloaded through iTunes.

PEPID’s reputable clinical and pharmacological content is designed to support clinicians through every stage of the decision support process, increasing safety and accuracy through better-informed patient care.
