As a result of a request made by someone who particularly liked one of my posts last month, I am reposting. This year at HIMSS should be pretty interesting, and maybe a bit chaotic and a little unsettling. Meaningful Use was getting bandied about last year, but this year it is real, tangible and around the corner.
Whether you are an EMR vendor, EHR manager, ePrescribing vendor, or someone else in this dynamic and quickly changing business segment, you will want to see what it is going on. One of the areas that is a bit overlooked and undervalued until you have signed a long-term agreement (and it is too late to reconsider) is in the area of drug database information for clinical decision support.
The data is important, but equally important is the relationship with your drug information provider. Once you make your selection, you will be "stuck" with them for a very long time. Make the right choice. Obviously, other areas for evaluation have to do with the level and sophistication of APIs that the vendor has or are under development.
Pediatric dosage calculations, drug interaction software, drug generic name, drug brand name, drug classifications, drug and medicine interactions, medicine lists, clinical guidelines, clinical information systems, and more, are all critical areas for consideration.
At HIMSS 2011 there will also be live demonstrations showing how our drug databases can be implemented and customized to meet the various specific needs of EMR vendors. Stop by and see us if you are a current customer or are looking to implement drug information or clinical decision support into your application, booth #6653.
Lexicomp will be attending HIMSS 2011 in Orlando. This will be a great opportunity for any EMR, Hospital, or Consumer Health Site to visit booth #6653 and learn about our solutions for implementing decision support for drug interactions, duplicate therapy, drug allergies, and dose range checking, as well as drug databases, and patient education information for consumers.
