Family Physician Joshua Steinberg and his colleagues at the UHS Department of Family Medicine developed a free contraceptive point-of-care app that pulls together evidence-based resources from the Reproductive Health Access Project, the CDC, and other sources.

The resources in the app include the Quick Start Algorithm, the Medical Eligibility Criteria for Initiating Contraception, a table of contraceptive effectiveness, guidance on how to switch methods, and a table of necessary exams and testing before providing contraception.

The app is written for practicing clinicians and is especially useful with clinical trainees (like residents, nursing and medical students).
