Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, and clinical information solutions provider Lexi-Comp, Inc. have expanded their partnership allowing mutual customers greater access to medical content. Both companies have also announced a distribution agreement that lets EBSCO sell Lexi-Comp databases.
A formal linking partnership between the two companies, originally announced in December 2008, allowed institutions subscribing to DynaMed, or other EBSCO products, to seamlessly access real-time information from their Lexi-Comp databases. The expanded deal now allows searches in Lexi-Comp resources such as Lexi-Comp ONLINE, to pull content from DynaMed and EBSCO’s Nursing Reference Center into Lexi-Comp results. This allows for faster access to the most current and relevant clinical information and improved clinical decision making at the point-of-care. Quickly navigating from relevant drug interaction or drug formulary information into treatment options for a particular condition is critical to the clinical decision making process saving time and streamlining the process of finding the best answers to clinical questions.
In addition to expanding linking options, EBSCO and Lexi-Comp have agreed to a joint sales partnership, which allows EBSCO to sell the Lexi-Comp online suite of drug reference products globally. These products can also be purchased directly from Lexi-Comp.
