Drug Data for Clinical Decision Support

I am  in Orlando at HIMSS.  It is a huge show with many lectures,  many exhibitors and 30,000 people.   It takes 8 minutes to walk from one end of the hall to the other.   The main special exhibit for the show is centered around interoperability.  There is progress being made in this area,  but one area that remains difficult,  and will prove more difficult and elusive  over time,  is  to provide interoperability regarding drug database information,  drug-drug interactions,  drug-allergy interactions, dose administration, therapeutic dosages.  This will become a major win when it is finally accomplished.
