In Need of an Expert Pediatric Dosage Calculator? Lexicomp Can Help!

Friday, July 1, 2011 by Darik Warnke
If you are in pediatrics you are most likely familiar with the Pediatric Dosage Handbook or Pediatric & Neonatal Lexi-Drugs by Lexicomp.  If you are not familiar with these resources I would highly recommend looking into these as many consider this information as the "bible" in safe pediatric dosing.  Now that Meaningful Use has been introduced and the larger overall concept of clinical decsion support and integration, Lexicomp has taken this key content and made it available as a database accessed through APIs.

Now that more and more clinical decision support resources are being integrated into the workflow, Lexicomp has invested the resources to be able to offer healthcare applications like EMR, CPOE, etc., a comprehensive database that can easily be implemented for pediatric speicific dosing and drug information, all right within the workflow.  The content from Lexicomp's pediatric information can be implemented to build pediatric dosing checks as well as a pediatric dosage calculator to ensure that pediatric and neonatal patients receive safe, accurate dosing and treatment. 

So wether you are a clinician or you are an EMR developer this information is a must have and important.  Clinicians can benefit from Lexicomp's products the best way they see fit.  Subscribing to our print or subscription based references or by having your EMR implement this Lexi-Data, this information cna be implemented right within your workflow.
