EMRs and EHRs have already greatly impacted the way clinical decisions are made.  Safer and better decisions are possible, if there is quality and relaible drug data at the heart of all clinical decision support systems.  To make their quality drug data even better, Lexi-Data has introduced a new structure which allows for the customization of Black Boxed Warning.  These warnings act to reduce alert fatigue, while at the same time delivering warnings to the people who needs them most.
Such new technologies will make all areas of clinical decision support better, contact Lexicomp today to see what they can offer you.

If an EMR developer is looking at several different drug information providers from which to secure their data, what criteria should they use? Internal support? Price? Ease of Installation? Given the drug information for clinical decision support is important, the criteria for making decisions is important.

I have seen that ePrescribing is become more important everyday. Are many vendors utilizing drug data from Lexicomp for this purpose?
