As more questions arise around Meaningful Use and its future, there is increasing skepticism from hospitals as to whether or not funding will be there after they make the huge time investment to wander down this road. One of the areas that many hospitals are embarking on is providing information to their patients via their hospital website.
Many hospitals are creating detailed hospital websites as a value add to their patients. Some hospitals are utilizing existing interfaces or "out of the box" solutions and some are building these on their own. Through these sites patients can access their records and most recent visits (Stage 2 Meaningful Use criteria if we ever get there), run drug interaction checks on their current list of medications, and access patient education materials on medications they may be taking or conditions they may have been diagnosed with. As patients become more involved with their healthcare decisions hospitals need to provide them with the information they need most. Drug information, drug interaction analysis, medication leaflets in their native language, and possibly education on drug brand name and drug generic name.
Lexicomp not only provides the drug information needed by clinicians when treating patients but also provides patient focused drug information that is written for the patient. Hospitals can provide this information through their site. Medication leaflets in up to 19 languages, patient level drug interaction analysis, lists of medications by brand and generic, and possibly information on natural products. All this information can provide patients that extra needed value from your hospital to make them feel better about their experience and Lexicomp can provide the consumer information needed to build that site.
