What's New
Version 9.0
March 2008

A major new feature, included in all PEPID Version 9.0 releases, is a re-designed Graphic User Interface (GUI) for Dosing Calculators. The new interface makes PEPID calculators easier to read for accurate decisions, quicker. Not only has the graphic layout been enhanced, calculator text is now more precise and descriptive.

Standard dosage is displayed on top for easy reference (1). Users first enter a selected dose (2). Then, calculate the effective dose (3). The calculator display also allows the user to calculate outside the minimum dose range for adjustment due to patient compromise or off label use. When users override dose limits, warnings are displayed.

Users no longer have to toggle between standard and effective dose displays to view information. The new calculators also show the amount to administer for a single dose from multi-dose units (4). All vital information is on display all the time.

HIGH IMPACT EVIDENCE NOW IN PEPID ED

Rather than presenting an updated summary of specific emergency medicine topics, BEEM presents the most relevant emergency medicine studies published in any one of over 100 peer-reviewed medical journals during the previous 12 months. BEEM minimized the amount of "expert opinion" by presenting an objective critical appraisal of each study using validated criteria. As a result, the wheat is separated from the chaff so busy emergency physicians get only what they need—the most recent, practice-relevant studies; how to appraise them; and how to apply them.

BEEM is an international emergency medicine knowledge translation project based at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, the center for evidence-based medicine. BEEM faculty is continuously screening over 100 medical journals for the latest EM-relevant articles. Once identified, the title and conclusions of the articles are sent to BEEM raters, frontline emergency physicians around the world who rate each article on its relevance to their clinical practice.

ONCOLOGY NURISNG SOCIETY PUTS P.E.P. INTO PEPID

Every publication of the Oncology Nursing Society's PEP™ (Putting Evidence into Practice) Resource Cards is a groundbreaking event. Each—for the first time—provides the evidence base for oncology nursing interventions. Now another first, as this high impact evidence is introduced electronically in Version 9.0 of the PEPID ONS Oncology Nursing Suite.

Each ONS PEP in PEPID includes questions that commonly arise in clinical practice, followed by interventions and recommendations for practice based on the level of evidence for each intervention. Feedback links to ONS are also included so that you may contribute to the evidence.
