Collaboration Delivers Comprehensive Drug Information to PrognoCIS EHR Users, Enhancing Clinical Decision-Making and Patient Safety in Ambulatory Clinics
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bizmatics, a leading provider of clinical and business productivity software and services for independent practices and specialty clinics, and FDB (First Databank, Inc.), the leading provider of drug knowledge that helps healthcare professionals make precise medication decisions, today mark 21 years of collaboration to equip providers using Bizmatics' PrognoCIS Electronic Health Record (EHR) in ambulatory clinics with the comprehensive, foundational drug information they need within their workflows to safely prescribe medications for patients and to maximize clinical outcomes.
"Prescription and medication reconciliation is a critical part of patient care, and the drug database plays an important role in this process," said Derek Smith, executive vice president of Bizmatics. "It allows for accurate documentation and reduces the chances of any medication errors. Our longstanding collaboration with FDB ensures that providers using Bizmatics' PrognoCIS have access to the most accurate and reliable drug list. It also helps clinicians to ensure patient safety with drug interactions checks as well as dosage range checks."
PrognoCIS integrates FDB MedKnowledge®, the most trusted and widely used drug database in the United States and Canada. FDB MedKnowledge encompasses thoroughly vetted information about FDA-approved prescription medications, over-the-counter medications and limited collections of disposable or reusable medication devices commonly dispensed by pharmacies. The database is used to drive medication decisions and streamline workflows in health information systems that serve the entire healthcare continuum including hospitals, health systems, pharmacies, physician practices, and payer organizations.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Bizmatics to support providers in outpatient clinics and physician practices with vital drug knowledge that helps them make more informed medication decisions for the safety and clinical benefit of their patients," said Jeff Bubp, PharmD, senior director of clinical content and informatics for FDB. "PrognoCIS users can be confident in the medication information they receive via their EHR because FDB MedKnowledge comprises only evidence-based content that is deeply researched, verified, and continuously updated by expert clinical staff at FDB who bring broad-spectrum practice and academic experience."
FDB MedKnowledge advances medication decision support for PrognoCIS users by providing actionable drug information to help ensure patient safety at the right time in the provider's workflow. Clinical screening and detection modules alert providers to possible contraindications for medications based on potential drug-allergy, drug-drug, and drug-disease interactions. Dosage range checks also help clinicians monitor for appropriate drug dosing, using age, route of administration, indications, and other patient-specific parameters.
FDB MedKnowledge data is mapped to National Drug Codes (NDCs), as well as to Federal Medication Terminologies (NLM® RxNorm, CVX/MVX, SNOMED CT®). This aids PrognoCIS users in identifying and electronically prescribing medications, sharing patient medication information between multiple systems, complying with government regulations, and ensuring appropriate reimbursements.
