Faster, shorter, and easier to read than UptoDate

[chickensoupdr]

Are there any good apps that are a good reference for inpatient services? UptoDate has been great but sometimes it's way more than what I need.
What do you guys use in the wards?

You could try Pepid. I've never used their Primary Care suite, but the EM one is great for quick references in the ED. I don't use it as much as I used to, but I reference it just often enough to keep me subscribing. It was extremely handy as a resident as I could reference it quickly and covertly before presenting and/or getting pimped by an upper level/attending and it would at least appear that I knew my stuff. We received a free subscription in residency.

Uptodate is already pretty concise as from your previous post sounds like you're in medicine, that you have to know the pathology/epidemiology etc that your Attendings will question you on and management. Epocrates on the phone is a great little program though to look up medications and quick factoids if you're getting what lab you may want to consider, etc.

Dude! Don't cut corners in care.

Up-to-date is already one of the shortest most concise resources in medicine out there which also happens to be one of the best.

I can't imagine how more concise you want your reading to be.

Are you looking for something like MGH Pocket Medicine to help you guide a differential/workup? That's a good start when it's 3am and the ER just dropped 6 hot messes in your lap because that's when the beds finally became available.

Otherwise, agree that for basic reading/understanding, UTD is where it's at.

Is Diagnasaurus still a thing? I remember being told about it in medical school eons ago.
