In the first month of availability, more than 125,000 users, including 25,000 U.S. physicians, downloaded the Epocrates Rx drug and formulary software for the iPhone. Epocrates conducted surveys among 607 physicians and consumers to evaluate how the iPhone is being used to support clinical decisions and ensure medication safety. Nearly 80% report using Epocrates during patient visits. They also share drug safety information with their patients. Patient reaction is also positive, with the majority feeling more confident their provider is confirming clinical information. More than 70% of physicians report using Epocrates at least once per day, and half plan to use it more in the future. In addition, 90% believe all healthcare professionals should use a clinical reference, such as Epocrates.
