Skyscape has inked a deal with Pearson Prentice Hall to bring a first wave of nearly 50 medical and nursing references to the Skyscape handheld platform. In the initial stages of this eight-year partnership, Skyscape said it will introduce some of the most popular Pearson Prentice Hall titles to PDAs, such as Photoguide for Nursing Skills; Prentice Hall Nursing Drug Guide 2003; Drug Guide for Paramedics; Pocket Reference for EMT-B First Responder; Hogan Series/Prentice Hall Reviews and Rationales in Nursing. “Emergency responders, including physicians, nurses and EMTs, are often the first point of contact with patients and they need information immediately to address time-critical situations”, says Michael McDermott, Vice President of New Business Development, Pearson Prentice Hall. “PDAs have proven invaluable as tools to best prepare these medical professionals. In this first wave with Skyscape, we are taking the essential next step in broadening our markets and capitalizing on the capabilities offered by Skyscape’s handheld platform.” According to Skyscape, its smARTlink technology brings information to more than 190,000 medical professionals. RJ Mathew, a VP at Skyscape, said “together, Skyscape and Pearson Prentice Hall will equip the nation’s medical personnel to be ready to handle any front-line situation with references such as Weapons of Mass Destruction: Emergency Care, Terrorism Response and Communicable Diseases and Infection Control.” The following is a list of some of the Pearson Prentice Hall titles Skyscape plans to make available in the next year:
