STM publisher Elsevier has announced an agreement with PioneerRx Pharmacy Software, a fast-growing pharmacy systems vendor serving independent and small chain pharmacies. PioneerRx selected Elsevier's Gold Standard Drug Database to replace its existing drug database and provide current and accurate drug content to enhance its member products, including an alert system, and concise, complete patient education information.
With more than 1,500 retail pharmacy customers nationwide currently using the software in their pharmacies, PioneerRx selected Elsevier to help the organisation and its customers improve patient safety and outcomes by providing information to pharmacists such as important drug interaction alerts, dosage parameters, drug pricing and image verification.
The Gold Standard Drug Database content is updated daily and has a peer-reviewed editorial process in place to ensure the highest accuracy of drug product information, drug pricing, clinical and patient education information. PioneerRx will benefit from the database's modern technical architecture, accurate content, built-in human logic and flexible implementation, all of which drive smarter drug decisions in pharmacies.
