What is Clinical Decision Support?

First Databank’s clinical decision support is designed to provide healthcare professionals with intelligently filtered, patient-specific drug information at appropriate times throughout a patient’s care. The emphasis is on supporting clinicians in their clinical decision making, rather than making decisions for them.

Clinical decision support checks the medication about to be prescribed, dispensed or administered against the information held in the electronic patient record and generates an alert message if there are potential clinical problems.
When integrated into clinical systems and linked with a patient’s record, our clinical decision support  helps to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety.
