pdaMD, a provider of handheld computing solutions for physicians, has introduced a PDA Center for members of the American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine (ACP-ASIM), the national organization of internal medicine specialists.

Available at ACPOnline.org, the official ACP-ASIM website, the PDA Center is slated to provide access to a comprehensive resource addressing PDAs and medical data management. ACP-ASIM's 115,000 internal medicine physician members will have access to a library of medically oriented handheld applications, advanced customization options to speed deployment, and dedicated support personnel.

"pdaMD is delighted to be working with the ACP-ASIM," said Chad Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of PDA Verticals Corporation. "Putting better information in internists' hands is key to improving adult patient care, and by simplifying and streamlining the adoption of handheld computers, the PDA Center plays an important part in achieving that goal."

According to a 2001 ACP-ASIM survey of 489 members, 47 percent were found to use handheld computers, and usage among internists is expected to increase.
