Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information
for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that it has
relaunched its flagship drug information reference as Facts
& Comparisons® eAnswers.
“While the name has changed,
our commitment to providing trusted clinical content and comparative
data has not. Facts & Comparisons continues to be the industry’s leading
drug information resource.”
“The new name better describes our ability to meet the expectations of
our customers by providing drug information and answers in multiple
electronic formats,” said Arvind Subramanian, President and CEO,
Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions. “While the name has changed,
our commitment to providing trusted clinical content and comparative
data has not. Facts & Comparisons continues to be the industry’s leading
drug information resource.”
Facts & Comparisons eAnswers, formerly known as Facts & Comparisons 4.0,
provides retail pharmacies and academia with online access to the most
up-to-date drug information and medication management tools tailored to
their unique needs, enabling better therapeutic decisions in less time.
For hospital pharmacies, it addresses the key pain points of workflow
efficiency and patient safety by providing the tools and information
needed to support drug dispensing activities.
In addition to the new name, Wolters Kluwer Health also unveiled a
number of enhancements to Facts & Comparisons that are designed to
improve the overall user experience. For example, an expanded reference
menu now includes Immunization Schedules, Chemotherapy Resources and
Interaction Resources headings. Patient Handout secondary links have
also been expanded and secondary menus for Toxicology Guidelines and
5-Minute Clinical Consult have been added.
The Monograph page has been redesigned to include more secondary menus
and direct links to enhance navigation within and between full
monographs, subsections, summaries and off-label indications. Finally,
the “Patient Handouts” section has expanded to include both Medication
Guides and Medfacts Patient Handouts, as well as any linked Healthwise
handouts if the user has an active subscription.
Other changes include enhanced search capabilities; improved Clinical
Calculator navigation and additional content; and integration of Cancer
Chemotherapy Manual content.
