Business information provider Thomson Reuters, US, has announced that Monongahela Valley Hospital (MVH) has signed a multi-year agreement to use Thomson Reuters Micromedex solutions as its source for evidence-based clinical reference information.
MVH is a 210-bed, full-service healthcare facility in western Pennsylvania. The hospital needed a clinical reference resource that would deliver high quality decision support that was clinically consistent for all departments.
The Micromedex solution is used in 3,500 hospitals in the US and also in 85 countries. It is evidence-based, fully referenced, and provides consistent clinical answers 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, Monongahela Valley will limit resources required to train staff and eliminate the need to support disparate clinical reference systems.
