Informed Decisions, LLC, a leading developer of drug information applications and clinical information solutions, announced today that it is providing information about its leading e-prescribing solution via the American Medical Association's (AMA) new ePrescribing Learning Center. The new online platform provides physicians with the information and tools they need to make informed decisions about electronic prescribing.
The learning center includes a variety of tools and resources to help physicians, including calculators to estimate time savings and eligibility for incentive payments and planning tools to help determine practice readiness for and ease implementation of new technologies.
"Prescription medications are one of the fastest growing components of the overall healthcare spend in the United States," said Kathy Mosbaugh, Executive Vice President, Informed Decisions. "The goal of EMPOWERx is to arm physicians with accurate clinical information to help in their decision making when prescribing a medication. Our clients are realizing significant savings as a result of the clinically-relevant drug information and interaction reporting available within the application."
Currently thousands of physicians have deployed EMPOWERx and hundreds have realized actual savings and improved efficiencies within their practice. The robust solution grants access to integrated drug information, drug-drug interaction screenings, real-time patient medication histories, up-to-date formulary information and more. Physicians can have point-of-care access to this clinical drug reference, e-prescribing program and patient care system via wireless and cellular connectivity, as well as the online secure EMPOWERx website.
