Evanston, IL — February 21, 2008 — PEPID is now compatible with virtually every language system used in healthcare. The robust PEPID® Knowledge Base just stepped up their technological capabilities a notch.
No matter what drug identification system is being used, the National Drug Code, First DataBank, Gold Standard, SNOMED or Micromedex, PEPID cross-maps the information to return the information you want. For PEPID clients this means that access to the PEPID Knowledge Base can be gained from a single point of entry — no matter what ID system is being used. As a result, the integrity of the data is protected and interoperability between systems occurs.
Beyond compatibility, the PEPID Knowledge Base has devised methods to lend a hand in formulary building. Now you can zero in on information such as ingredients, form, trade name and dosing from any drug identification system, for all FDA approved drugs.
“With this advancement in web services, the PEPID tech team has done for healthcare information management professionals what our editorial team already does for docs and nurses — created a product that vastly improves both groups’ abilities to do their jobs more accurately and efficiently,” says PEPID President, John Wagner, “PEPID is again the industry leader in the ongoing movement toward the global improvement of quality-of-care.”
The PEPID Knowledge Base is the next-generation of clinical decision support solutions. The comprehensive database of medical and clinical content and tools is available for integration within all information systems and delivered via award-winning PEPID web services. The PEPID Knowledge Base improves clinical performance, easily adapts to any existing healthcare information system and offers the framework for building new systems – providing solutions that span the continuum of the healthcare industry.
