If I had to redesign this reference work, the one thing I would add would be an expanded section on drug groups and classifications. It helps the student to understand the drug if they can understand the group it belongs to. Each drug class has its own characteristics, mechanisms of action, interactions and side effects. There are a few pages of groups of drugs, but not enough.
To improve it, FIX the table of contents so that the classes take you to a separate page FOR EACH CLASS of drugs which then lists all the drugs in that category. Each entry on this page is the name both trade and generic of a drug and if you press the link it takes you to the page of the drug. Then in the index, each drug entry by name and generic is a link to the actual page in the ebook where you would find it (the purpose of this is if you don't know the class you can still find the drug). Alternatively if this is too labor intensive, JUST PUT A LOCATION NUMBER next to the entry so it can be navigated to manually. If you really want to make a value added useful tool, then allow the search field to discriminate between simple mentions of the name of the drug and actual title pages of the actual drug entry. Finally add links to the sections within each drug entry to facilitate jumping from section to section (for example being able to go from the pregnancy category to the implementation section if I want to know if I can give this to a pregnant mother and then if I need to know y-site compatibility and how I should give the drug). the only thing needed would be to update it each year with new information.
These changes make it worth the money, quality does cost I understand, but this isn't worth spending $ on. This should never have left the production facility. I trusted it would be identical to the app on blackberry and android and was sadly mistaken, in it's present, form, this book is just a simple book offering no better organization than if I were to google the drug, not a bedside reference tool, I'd use it's paper equivalent first. Total waste of money for it's intended purpose!
Looking for drug info here is a waste of our already sorely stretched time. I can find it faster on my phone, than in this dedicated application.
