CPS by CPhA vs HALO

CPS (formerly RxTx) has a new appearance. CPS is still the reliable, evidence-based drug resource it has always been and provides essential drug information at the point-of-care for health care practitioners. Now offering two subscription options – CPS Drug Information or CPS Full Access. CPS Drug Information is the Canadian standard for drug monographs, containing thousands of products including monographs for drugs, vaccines, natural health products and medical devices, approved by Health Canada. CPS Full Access includes all content from CPS Drug Information and the most current, evidence-based therapeutic information and non-prescription therapy for most common conditions, with cross-referenced drug tables and algorithms and DC condition-based drug tables. Both subscriptions types provide critical updates such as warnings and advisories; and useful tools such as medical calculators.

HALO: EM is a bedside reference for rare, time-critical emergencies — the procedures you perform rarely and cannot afford to get wrong. It works fully offline. AROUND 150 PROCEDURE CARDS • Airway • Resuscitation • Obstetric emergencies • Access and decompression • Core emergency department procedures • Toxicology • Critical care • Pediatric and neonatal emergencies Each card is step-by-step, written to be read while you are doing the procedure, not an hour before it. DECISION ALGORITHMS Around 35 guided algorithms that ask one question at a time and take you to the decision, instead of handing you a flowchart to decode under pressure. IMMOBILIZATION REFERENCE Casting and splinting guidance for injuries across five body regions. BUILT FOR THE BEDSIDE • Resuscitation mode — large type, with a timer • Weight-based dose calculator that flags dose ceilings • Search that tolerates typos and abbreviations • Local notes on any card, so your department's protocol lives with the card • Dark mode and adjustable text size FULLY OFFLINE, NO DATA COLLECTED HALO: EM makes no network requests and collects no data. It works in a resus bay with no signal, on a retrieval, or anywhere else the network does not reach. WHO IT IS FOR Qualified healthcare professionals and trainees: emergency physicians, residents, rural and remote generalists, paramedics, emergency nurses and critical care clinicians. HALO: EM is a reference aid. It is not a substitute for clinical judgment, local protocols or specialist advice. Verify all doses against your institutional guidance before administration.
