New contract puts FDBE on the Map
First DataBank Europe (FDBE) has signed a contract with specialist
information provider Informa to integrate its drugs knowledgebase and
clinical decision support system into the latter’s clinical knowledge
resource, the Map of Medicine.
The Exeter-based company will provide its Multilex Drug Data File
drugs knowledgebase and SNOMED-CT mapping to integrate its clinical
decision-support software into the Map of Medicine, an online resource
which helps healthcare practitioners find the clinical information they
need quickly at the point of care.
Multilex will filter the data and present to the clinician using the
Map a list of medicines that could be used to treat that particular
condition. The decision-support system, meanwhile, will identify
potential contraindications and precautions for a particular patient.
“Integration with FDBE is very important to us because it will enable
our clinical end-users to access drug information from within the Map of
Medicine”, says Craig Rhodes, Innovation and Development Manager at
London-headquartered Informa.
The Map of Medicine has been licensed for use by NHS Wales and parts
of NHS England (the latter as part of the National Programme for IT).
