Patient Education

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. 

If you are interested in learning more about our integration capabilities, we'd love to talk with you.  Please contact us at 1-877-819-6883.

Instead of writing out prescriptions on a piece of paper, doctors will perform this function directly into their electronic medical record.  The prescription travels from their computer to the pharmacy’s computer. Electronic prescriptions are sent electronically through a private, secure, and closed network – the Surescripts network.
