Medical Application Critical Appraisal Guidelines
Within healthcare, there are a variety of medical applications (app) that are available to
patients and medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and nurse
practitioners. Each of the medical applications applies to patient-provider communication and
interaction. The applications use advance analytical skills and critical thinking with evidence-
based research to enhance patient care. Throughout the paper, I will discuss an app that may be
used by healthcare professionals to encourage patient outcomes positively. While also providing
a patient case scenario proving the use of the app to be effective and efficient.
Name
The application that will be further investigate is called MediCalc; ScyMed produced the
app. The app has been strongly admired, appraised, and verified since 1996. MediCalc is average
for clinical computations and analytics in Medicine. This specific app should not be confused
with a very similar app called MediCalc, and both utilize to create medical calculations.
However, the apps are different because they do not contain the same patient-specific
computations.
