Drug Data for Clinical Decision Support

EMR Companies Searching for Reliable Drug Interaction Databases to facilitate certification

Friday, August 20, 2010 by David Wilkof
 There is isn’t much time left  for EMRs to get certified before they are scheduled to rollout their product in the marketplace.  There is a lot to get done.  One oft overlooked item is securing a reliable drug interaction database partner.  It’s not just about the data, it's also about working together.   Gaining final certification is a gut-wrenching process.  One thing you don’t need is a drug data vendor who  sees you as a customer rather than a partner.
 
How familiar are you with the requirements for Meaningful Use?  How familiar are you with the certification process that flows from the new government mandates?  In the current situation, familiarity doesn't even bring clarity --  especially in areas that are not in your bailiwick.  Going it alone might not be the wise approach.
 
 There are only a few drug  data providers out there.   You should be looking at Lexi-Comp or Multum if you want to get it done right and for the right price.  Remember, it’s not just about the data, but it’s also about whom you work with and who best can lead you through the process, providing the level of customer service you need and deserve to get to market quickly.  
 
Lexi-Data offers medication decision support that helps meet the needs of clinical decision support.  It provides the drug data needed to build drug, drug interaction checking, drug disease alerts, duplicate therapy alerts and dose range checking into EMRs.  With our industry leading SDK and APIs, our drug data is easily integrated into EHRs to help with certification.  Our SDK and our advanced API will help EHRs get to market fast and implementation teams will save time, allowing them to focus on more involved development needs.  The flexible pricing model will work for smaller companies who are on the early edge of the development curve.  Lexi-Data and its dedicated support team offer the flexibility to grow and enhance your EMR as it develops and matures.
