Not all drug reference databases are created equal.

Find this out now or later, but is later to late? Not all drug reference databases are created equal. Drug data shapes everyday decisions in hospitals when dealing with patients. When developing or perhaps looking to improve upon your EMR, EHR, or HIS it is key to use drug data that meets qualifications and then some. What does this drug database look like you might ask?

A quality drug database should include:

Interactions, including drug-drug, drug-allergy and drug-disease
Dosage range checking, for both adult and pediatrics
Duplicate therapy
Compliance with RxNorm

An even better drug database will include:

Specific pediatric dosage calculcators
Patient education pamphlets in multiple languages, for both adult and pediatric patients

Lexicomp not only provides drug data that meets the above criteria, but also more! Lexicomp provides customer service that is top notch and prepared to meet your needs at every level. Don't take my word though,

"Every time I call or email Lexi-Comp with a question, the service is like no other. I can't think of one single product that I have that continues to get better and better every year, except for Lexi-Comp. Ever since I started using Lexi-Comp, I can't imagine going to work as a pharmacist without it. I would be lost."
