ELECTRONIC PRESCRIBING SYSTEMS (E-PRESCRIBING)
|
To build an e-prescribing system that physicians can fully embrace, in light of government regulations, and industry initiatives, developers benefit from a comprehensive, constantly updated drug knowledge that gives physicians a fast and easy way to make safe and appropriate drug choices for their patients. First DataBank designs its National Drug Data File (NDDF) Plus with the elements developers need to build physician-friendly e-prescribing systems that support clinical decision making, prevent medication errors, and readily exchange information with systems used by other health professionals.
