DHTS Announces Epocrates Changes

Epocrates users take note: DHTS is not renewing the site license for the Epocrates premium products. Existing licenses will still be valid for 1 year from date renewed / initiated.

The original notice from DHTS follows:
Please Note! Beginning Thursday, October 1, 2009, Duke Health Technology Solutions will migrate from the Epocrates Essentials Suite of applications to the free mobile products offered by Epocrates: Epocrates Rx, MobileCME, Epocrates Medtools, and Epocrates Mobile Resource Center. When your existing Epocrates Essentials license expires, on your next sync, you should automatically switch over to the free Epocrates Products. New or renewed licenses before September 30, 2009, will be valid for one year from the date of initiation.

For those requesting Epocrates for the first time after September 30, you will need to go to the Epocrates Website, https://www.epocrates.com/products/rx/ , and walk through the steps to download the free Epocrates Mobile applications. If you are interested in any of the additional features available through Epocrates, you will need to purchase those applications through Epocrates.

Finally, if you have any additional questions, you should first contact your Local LAN Administrator. Mobile Computing will also provide a link to the Epocrates Website as well on our home page, pda.duhs.duke.edu.
