Delivering Solutions for the Healthcare Community
Through its partnerships with healthcare system providers, First DataBank Europe’s decision support is in daily use by thousands of healthcare professionals in the UK. Multilex DDF provides patient specific clinical decision support at the point of care and is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of healthcare professionals.
When integrated into clinical systems, Multilex DDF carries out the following checks: drug-drug interactions, sensitivities, contraindications, precautions and therapeutic duplication. Messages and alerts can be filtered according to the patient’s age, sex and medical condition, including pregnancy, lactation and hepatic and renal conditions. Clinicians can therefore benefit from targeted clinical decision support, helping to reduce prescribing and dispensing errors and improving patient safety.
First DataBank Europe has a large team of pharmacists, clinicians, clinical researchers, healthcare informaticists and software developers who maintain and support Multilex DDF. The company operates a Quality Management System that is certified to the latest ISO 9001:2000 standard and operating procedures are regularly reviewed.
