Information services provider Thomson Reuters, US, has announced that Halifax Regional Medical Center has signed a multi-year agreement to use Thomson Reuters Micromedex solutions as its source for evidence-based clinical reference information. Halifax Regional Medical Center is a 206-bed acute-care hospital in Roanoke Rapids, in rural North Carolina.
The Micromedex solutions include evidence-based information on drugs and drug interactions, disease management, toxicology, alternative medicine, and intravenous drug compatibility, as well as patient education resources. By choosing an integrated source for all of its clinical reference needs, Halifax Regional will limit resources required to train staff and eliminate the need to support disparate clinical reference systems.
Micromedex content will provide the hospital with the evidence needed to recommend treatment alternatives while providing options for reducing costs.
