America is a great country. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more EMRs (and related systems) in development in the United States than the rest of the world combined. Cultural and marketplace paroxysms create stress and discomfort, and at the same time result in major breakthroughs and great new products. That is what is going on this country, day by day. The great scramble is on. There is much pressure to do things quickly and get to the market rapidly before the doors begin closing. One thing the developing EMR company should not worry about is their selection for a provider of drug and medicine information.
There are only a few suppliers available. The EMR companies should decide based on which company will be the easiest to work with to facilitate the data integration, with appropriate support, APIs, and quality data. Check into Multum (part of Cerner) and Lexicomp.
These companies are experienced and respected in providing dosage precautions, pediatric dosing information, drug interaction software, clinical guidelines, Meaningful Use information, therapeutic dosages, drug-drug interaction, drug-allergy interaction and more. Make sure you make the right choice. You have other more important things to worry about.

I completely agree a developing EMR company should not worry about is their selection for a provider of drug and medicine information.
