Elsevier’s Gold Standard, a leading drug information provider, announced today that the Northern New England Accountable Care Collaborative, LLC (NNEACC), composed of Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health, MaineHealth and Dartmouth College, has selected the Gold Standard Drug Database to deliver current and accurate drug data and drug decision support. The integration of the Gold Standard Drug Database module will allow the NNEACC to streamline and automate the process of integrating prescribing data with administrative and clinical information to provide a robust view of patient activity to clinicians.
The Gold Standard Drug Database will offer NNEACC drug pricing updates, therapeutic groupings of drug products, brand versus generic identifiers, and accurate information on generics. The Gold Standard Drug Database interacts intelligently with patient prescribing data to guide the clinician to an efficient and effective delivery of the patient’s medication, assisting adherence to drug therapy for best health benefits. NNEACC will benefit from the database’s modern technical architecture, combined with current, accurate content and built-in human logic for superior decision support, which distinguishes Gold Standard Drug Database from other drug compendia.
