Clinical software vendor Gold Standard, Inc., US, part of STM publisher Elsevier, has integrated its Clinical Pharmacology electronic drug information and medication management reference with FormChecker. FormChecker is a formulary management and pharmacy information system from pharmacy software developer, MedKeeper. The initiative seeks to provide hospital pharmacists with a single, comprehensive source for both drug and formulary information.
The integrated feature is available to concurrent subscribers of both products in two convenient ways - by going to the 'Resource Center' button within Clinical Pharmacology and selecting 'FormChecker' from the drop-down menu - from there, pharmacists can easily conduct formulary searches and access other documents and links; and formulary information can also be accessed from within Clinical Pharmacology monographs.
With a new look, simpler navigation and additional content, Clinical Pharmacology provides clinically-relevant drug information to prevent drug errors, reduce adverse events and improve health outcomes. It includes all US prescription drugs, as well as off-label uses and dosages, herbal supplements, nutritional and over-the-counter products and investigational drugs. Clinical Pharmacology, the trusted frontline drug information resource for more than 1,000 hospitals, also features IV compatibility, drug interaction and adverse reaction reports, as well as MedCounselor patient education sheets in English and Spanish.
FormChecker is an easy-to-use formulary management and communication system that aids in JCAHO compliance, ensures current pharmacy guidelines are followed and reduces time spent on management of formulary conversions. Using a web browser, pharmacists can effortlessly update formularies, guidelines, alerts and other pharmacy-related information. Changes are instantly made available to pharmacists over the Internet, in print, and on Palm and Pocket PC PDAs. FormChecker also includes integrated drug information and health plan formulary information for more than 180 million covered lives.
