JRAd consulting, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of a new plug-in for version 2.0 of Palmedic. The new Tests plug-in has been programmed to replace the standard Tests plug-in that ships with Palmedic. This new plug-in allows for the creation of calculated test results within a patient record. There is no longer any need for separate medical calculators. Palmedic can use test information entered into its database as well as pertinent demographic data like age and gender to calculate anything a separate medical calculator can. More importantly, the calculated data becomes part of the patient's medical record without further entry. This data can also be accessed by other plug-ins, like the Transcriptionist note plug-in (http://www.jrad.com/Palmedic/transcriptionistNote.html), for use in daily notes or other applications.

The test plug-in comes with pre-defined calculated tests, like creatinine clearance, serum osmolality, anion gap, fractional excretion of sodium, and A-a gradient. More tests come with the plug-in and new calculated tests can be easily entered by the user. This plug-in is further evidence that virtually anything can be done with Palmedic 2.0 through the use of plug-ins.

The plug-in is free to registered users of Palmedic 2.0. You are invited to visit the web page describing the plug-in at <http://www.jrad.com/Palmedic/tests.html> for further information about its capabilities.
