Comprehensive Drug Coverage for Real-World Use
As a healthcare provider, you know both the importance and difficulty of educating patients about proper medication use. But by providing up-to-date electronic drug information in language that's easy to understand, First DataBank can help you inform and council your patients effectively.
To guard against unsafe patient dosing levels and many drug-related illnesses, integrate First DataBank's Dosage Range Check Module into your healthcare information system.
Monitor the Appropriateness of Drug Dosing
Dosage range checking works in the background to monitor the appropriateness of drug dosing. It uses patient-specific age, indications and organ function data—when these are available in your information system. If patient-specific data are not available, this module checks a dosage range for a specified drug that consolidates typical data for common illnesses.
