Carestream Dental has entered into a data-sharing agreement with Lexicomp, a global provider of drug information and drug data solutions for healthcare professionals.
Through this venture, Lexicomp's subscription-based database of drug information and clinical reference content will be made accessible through Carestream Dental's SoftDent, PracticeWorks, Windent and WinOMS CS software.
"By giving practice professionals the ability to access Lexicomp data and pull it directly into patient records with their existing practice management software, we can improve decision support to ensure patient safety and eliminate several steps in an otherwise lengthy data entry process," said Patrik Eriksson, president and CEO of Carestream Dental, in a press release. "This reduces the chance of errors and saves practices valuable time as they check on drug interactions."
