ePrescribing is gaining momentum. Partly this is due to more hospitals, doctors and dentists aiming to be compliant. In several states, this is happening because of state mandates.
There will likely be some business opportunities for some small companies to fill in the gap between ePrescribing as part of robust EMR systems and those that just need a tool to facilitate ePrescribing, without integration into their system.
There is a mad scramble by companies and start-ups to fill this compliant gap as soon as possible. Whether they know it or not, they will need to work with a drug database company to secure compliance. And if they want to do it quickly and work with a vendor who serves as a partner, and not just a supplier, more and more are turning to Lexicomp. Lexicomp is becoming a force in the delivery of drug data for those firms that are now (or will become) involved in the ePrescribing sector.
Not only will Lexicomp provide all the basic drug data information such as: drug interactions; drug-allergy interactions, therapeutic dosages, drug classifications, dosage administration, pediatric drug information, and more; but Lexicomp also takes the time to work with their customers to resolve situations in a timely way.
EMRs should work with a drug interaction software company early in the process to avoid any late surprises in the certification process.
Also, if you are looking for a stand alone online ePrescribing application, I would strongly suggest taking a look at DoseSpot. They have a great product.
