Finding Meaning in Meaningful Use

Now more than ever, it's vital your EMR contains the drug data necessary to help customers achieve Meaningful Use of EHR.  In fact, in a recent study conducted by CSC, 90 percent of hospital executives said meeting Meaningful Use guidelines was one of their top priorities.

The numbers speak for themselves.  Your customers are on the fast track to prove Meaningful Use of EHR.  And if you don't clearly communicate to users how your system will help meet Meaningful Use guidelines, you may get left behind.

Lexi-Comp's transactional data and reference solutions can help your system comply with the final rule on Meaningful Use by helping you support the technical capabilities required for certification of your system.  Specifically, Lexi-Comp can provide your EMR the core drug data and reference information you need to achieve the clinical decision support component of Meaningful Use.  When integrated into your system, Lexi-Comp will:

• Provide data for drug-drug, drug-disease and drug-allergy interaction screening
• Provide duplicate therapy and dose range checking for pediatric and adult patients
• Provide a drug list of dispensable products with mapping to NDC numbers, RXCUI, Lexi-Comp's Global ID, Multum DNUM and generic product codes
• Support the maintenance of active medication and allergy lists within an EMR
• Promote interoperability
