Drug Data for Clinical Decision Support

EPrescribing, Florida doctors, Medication Databases

What do all of these have in common?  Well for one thing,  they are being driven in part by the demands of Meaningful Use requirements.  Here is just one example of Meaningful Use effect.  Some of the demands are actually in place, and many others roll out over the next few years.    EPrescribing in Florida looks like it might be taking an interesting turn as free application provided by the State may be going away,  or so I have heard.  This recently posted ePrecribing  blog described it  in greater detail.  And a second blog.

As Meaningful Use requirements have dictated more relevant application of medication and drug data within EMR and EHR systems,   the awareness of the nuances of these databases has also gone up.    Recognition of the following terms is becoming more commonplace:  Drug Reference Database; Dosage Range,  Dosing in Pediatrics, Drug Interaction List,  Pediatric Dosage Calculator,  Medicine Interaction.  Clinical Decision Support Systems,  Drug Content,  and more.
