A free app for Android, by The Royal Childrens Hospital Melbourne.
This app is a reference tool for health workers to find the latest evidence-based clinical guidelines. It is a handy tool that allows you to access guidelines at the point of care. It is basically a digital iteration of the widely-used Pocket book of Hospital Care for Children, aimed at healthcare providers who are responsible for managing pediatric patients. This evidence-based resource focuses on the effective treatment of critical causes of childhood mortality in resource-limited countries, including neonatal illness, respiratory problems, diarrhea, infectious fevers, malnutrition, HIV/AIDS, and surgical conditions such as trauma and burns.
The app offers guidance on managing each patient's care in a stepwise approach, starting with emergency treatment, followed by a comprehensive history and physical examination, laboratory investigations, supportive care, and monitoring. The final stages of patient management include discharge planning and follow-up.
