Information services provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has announced that Lexicomp and UpToDate, both part of WK Health, have collaborated to enhance the patient education leaflets in the Lexicomp Online product to include new and updated content.
As a part of WK Health, Lexicomp collaborated with UpToDate to enhance the overall patient education offering in Lexicomp Online. As a result, Lexicomp Online now offers an increased number of leaflets in the areas of Conditions, Procedures, Discharge Instructions, and Healthy Living, totaling more than 2300 leaflets, all of which are available in both English and Spanish.
Lexicomp Online also offers more than 1800 adult medication leaflets and more than 1000 pediatric medication leaflets. All leaflets are written in a clear, concise, easy-to-read format (5th to 7th grade reading level) and are available in up to 19 languages to help support compliance and promote patient safety to a diverse patient population.
Later this quarter, WK Health will announce an upcoming enhancement to the patient education delivery capability of materials within Lexicomp Online, including a new and improved API along with HL7 Info Button compliance. This improved functionality will give healthcare systems the ability to include the full suite of patient education leaflets and build links to these patient education leaflets from within their workflow.
