Drug Data for Clinical Decision Support

Why EMRs and Practice Management Systems are turning to Lexi-Data for drug information

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 by David Wilkof
We live in a turbulent and fast changing world.  What was good yesterday is not necessarily what is best for today.   Where is Netscape?   How about Alta Vista?    Lotus is certainly history but how many of you remember Multiplan and before that VisiCalc?  The changes occur quickly -- not like the phasing out of a buggy whip. 

The same could  be said about more and more EMR developers who are turning to Lexi-Data for their drug information.    Lexi-Data just hit the scene a little more than two years ago.  And how quickly it has grown and capturing a major part of new EMR development in need of drug information.  Why so?

Is it about drug information quality?   Is it about ease of integrating the APIs?   How about quality of the Pediatric Drug Information and drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions?  Or is about the top quality customer support during the development and integration phase,  where Lexicomp treats it customers like true partners?

Needless to say,  as you can imagine,  it is about all of the above.   If you haven't acted yet,  it is about time.
