Point of Care Tools
Point of Care tools are designed to help clinicians quickly locate evidence-based information at the point of care. Customarily, they are more helpful with broader questions than they are with more focused clinical issues. Information comes from reliable sources. Many include medical calculators, tables and other tools.
