Being involved with a leading drug information company demands a constant understanding of the market place. As more and more EMR companies are ramping up their product offering and trying to capitalize on the ARRA funding there is an increased demand for a comprehensive drug database. EMR companies require certain drug data elements to meet certification criteria through CCHIT as well as certain clinical decision support requirements to allow their clients and end users (the hospital or ambulatory care facility) the ability to prove meaningful use.
There is also an increasing need for other healthcare I.T. companies (Consumer Websites, Health Information Exchanges, etc) to incorporate drug nomenclature, drug classifications, or medication brand names into their system to provide value to their end users and build certain decision support functionality into their applications.
My goal is to hopefully ask interesting questions and create meaningful dialogue to increase my own understanding of the needs of this diverse and changing market so that our products and services continue to provide value.
I look forward to your thoughts and comments!
