Abstract

Access to information by all medical staff has undergone drastic change over the past 10 years. Paper-based information sources are no longer seen as the most useful and important. These days people want access to information when and where they need it, rather than going to a library to look information up later in their day. This is where smartphones and more specifically smartphone apps are now coming into their own.
