There has been a race by existing and new EMR companies to get new products into the marketplace as soon as possible. And now with both the reimbursement benefits and soon to follow requirements related to eprescribing, we have seen additional products and add-on modules hit the marketplace. Many of these new products and new companies have approached Lexicomp to secure drug and medicine information to include in these products.
Lexicomp as a drug data provider for these systems appeared on the scene several years ago and has quickly increased market share for these new products under development. Why so?
There are probably three reasons for this quick ascent. First, good and reliable information. Second, a great internal IT team to work with for development purposes. They are talented, friendly and easy to work with. It's great to have APIs available, but if the support you receive from your data provider is weak, unfriendly, or non-existent, then how much does it help you? Finally, the data structure of the files is terrific. It is elegant, logical and easy to use to.
Some existing EMR and EHR companies have found it challenging to switch over current products due to their reliance on the structure of data from their current provider, even though they very much wanted to make that shift. However, as more and more of the companies are developing new products and new modules, they are making the shift and not looking back.
So if you are an EHR, EMR, or HIS and are looking for the best way to include the following information in your product, Lexicomp is definitely worth a conversation:
- Patient Education leaflets
- Drug interaction databases
- Drug-drug interaction data
- Drug information for meaningful use
- Drug - allergy interaction checking
- Pediatric drug dosing charts and information
- Medicine brand and generic names
- Adverse drug events checking
- Drug information for clinical information support.
