In the last two years Lexicomp has quickly become a major provider of drug information to EMR companies for clinical decision support. Many of the new EMRs hitting the market are using Lexicomp medicine information for drug interactions, dose range checking, therapeutic dosages, adverse drug advents, electonic eprescring, and more. Lexi-Data has become the popular choice based on top quality information, unparalleled customer service, state-of-the-art data structure and top-notch APIs. Now something new!!
Lexi-Data has introduced a new structure which allows for the customization of Black Boxed Warning to reduce alert fatigue, yet at the same time delivers the warning to the person who needs it most. This information structure is new and as far as we know not available elsewhere.
API and Database Features:
- Incorporates not only the BBW as published within the package insert, but also pulls contextual or supporting information as written by Lexicomp clinical experts
- Each summary is broken down and tagged as separate messages / instructions
- Each message is paired to a recipient user category – this allow for differentiating where in the workflow of an EMR the message may be displayed
- Can be filtered for a more specific and targeted set of messages to clinician/recipient groups, as defined for their site
This is terrific stuff. So for anyone developing drug interaction software or eprescribing modules, this is something you will want to look into.
