Updates to the Essential Evidence Plus program are released as new features and bug fixes are available.

The Essential Evidence Plus Updater application that is included with Essential Evidence Plus can automatically download and install content updates as they become available. Updates to Essential Evidence Plus content are published one to four times per month.

Downloads of Essential Evidence Plus without the Updater and with data files included are also available. These downloads are updated each time the program is updated and every three months to include updated content.

See the System Requirements.

The handheld versions of Essential Evidence Plus (available for the Palm OS and Pocket PC) are integrated with Lexi-Comp's clinical reference databases. For example, if you are searching Essential Evidence Plus and a drug name appears in an article, just tap on the drug and Lexi-Comp's drug monograph will appear. When you have finished reading about the drug, exit Lexi-Comp and the screen will go back to the article you were reading.

This feature requires that you purchase and install Lexi-Comp separately. You can find more information about Lexi-Comp at www.lexi.com.
