Over the last few years, Lexicomp has become the fastest growing provider of drug information to EMR/EHR vendors. It is not only due to the excellent and personalized customer service that each customer receives, but also because Lexicomp strives to stay ahead on cutting edge technology and industry updates. Over the last twelve months, Lexi-Data customers have taken advantage of several more enhancements to the product that:
-
Reduce development time
-
Add unique functionality
-
Answer common EMR vendor concerns
Lexi-Data clients can alleviate alert fatigue
Alert fatigue is now one of the primary concerns of clinicians concerning EMR adoption, so Lexi-Data has created a way to easily filter alerts such as Black Box Warnings. This results in more relevant, actionable, and valuable alerts. This is exactly what EMR users are looking for.
Expanded web services drastically cuts development time
Lexicomp now provides web service delivery for those clients who just want instant access over the Internet. This cuts development and maintenance costs drastically, and allows clients to get to the market faster with additional functionality.
Targeted patient education materials for improved care
Lexi-Data now offers both adult and pediatric patient education leaflets in 19 languages. These patient education leaflets are used daily by thousands of hospitals in the United States and can now be integrated into EMRs.

As more and more healthcare professionals are adopting EMR technology to meet Meaningful Use requirements, we are receiving more and more interest from dentists about adding clincial decision support technology into their dental practice management system. They are quickly realizing that Lexicomp is the preferred vendor of choice to work with, because we provide the very best dental specific drug database to integrate into their EMRs as well as personalized customer support during development. Another important piece to consider in a dental EMR is an ePrescribing tool. Lexicomp has a close partnership with DoseSpot to deliver this solution. By selecting DoseSpot for ePrescribing, our clients are able to get to the market faster and reduce their headaches in developing the tool on their own.
Lexi-Data provides the drug information for dose range checking, pediatric dosing, drug calculators, medicine interactions, dosage precautions, clinical guidelines, drug interaction software, duplicate therapy, drug classifications, generic drug names, drug nomenclature and more. These are critical paths for a dental EMR build.

Electronic prescribing (e-Prescribing) is a key component to improving patient safety and reducing medication errors, because it provides real-time clinical decision support to physicians at the time of order entry. It is estimated that approximately 7,000 deaths occur each year in the United States from preventable medication errors. That is why physician adoption of e-Prescribing has been incentivized by the federal government. However, one of the biggest challenges surrounding physician’s adoption of e-Prescribing is the ability for them to electronically transmit prescriptions for controlled substances.
Prior to June 2010, all controlled substance prescriptions were required to be on paper, so instead of maintaining one process for paper-based controlled substances and another that is electronically based for noncontrolled substances; physicians were choosing to stick with a paper-based prescription process. In an effort to remove this headache and extra work that was required by physcians there was a new ruling made by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to encourage physicians adoption. In June 2010, the DEA revised the Code of Federal Regulations to allow the electronic transmission of schedule II-V controlled substances to pharmacies. Now physicians can migrate to an electronic system and not worry about maintaining a separate paper-based system.
Lexi-Data is the foundation of Lexicomp's comprehensive clinical decision support database and it contains federal CSA codes as well as a list of state level overrides that e-Prescribing systems need to make this happen.

Healthcare providers have always relied on Lexicomp’s clinical information to provide them with answers to questions about drug interactions. It is important that providers have a trusted resource to find information about the potential, risk, and mechanism of drug and natural product interactions, and methods to manage these risks in their patient’s regimen. The key to Lexicomp’s drug interaction content comes from a strong knowledge base of understanding the pharmacokinetics of drug interactions and a scientific approach to predicting interactions. Lexicomp’s comprehensive suite of clinical information concerning drug-drug and drug-food interactions is one of the key reasons why EMR vendors use Lexi-Data for clinical decision support to meet Meaningful Use certification requirements.
Lexi-Data’s drug-drug interaction API provides developers many opportunities to customize the display of drug interaction information, offers a severity rating for each interaction, an “advice” header, and a textual description of the significance, nature, and management of the interaction. Lexi-Data also helps manage alert fatigue with the ability to customize interaction alerts for different views.
