Tools for Checking Medicine Interactions

A Great Drug Reference Database

Drug Reference Database

Great drug reference databases do not grow on trees.  If you are in the midst of developing or redesigning an EMR or EHR, then you already know this.  There are lots of key questions to keep in mind throughout the decision process:

  1. How much will they help in setting up the API's? 
  2. Do they have a specific pediatric dose range checking product?  
  3. Do they have patient education leaflets?
  4. Are they available in foreign languages? 

Take a look at the marketplace and see who can meet all your needs--check out Lexicomp early in the searching process and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Michelle,
Thanks for posting this information regarding drug and medicine reference data for EMRs. The pediatric dose range checking is particularly helping. Having easy to use APIs and a strong support team is very helpful.
