Lexicomp to Replace Clinical Pharmacology

Effective Dec. 30, 2015, we will be transitioning to Lexicomp, a new Clinical Pharmacology vendor for drug reference look-up. This tool is most often used by Pharmacy associates, Clinicians and Nursing. A link to Lexicomp has already been added to the Source and offers:

• Full access to their drug reference tool, patient education, calculators and toxicology information
• Orientation/training videos and quick reference guide
• A link to install a mobile app

If you use this tool, take some time to review the Lexicomp link before the Dec. 30 cut-over date when the former Clinical Pharmacology and Micromedex links will be removed. Lexicomp will only be available on the Source and no longer linked from local intranet sites.

Lexicomp was chosen as the Ascension national standard after a thorough selection process by The Resource Group Pharmacy Team and Ascension Information Systems. Lexicomp was selected based on its ease of use, accessibility, cost, and concise information. It also supports our goals of offering high-quality care, better patient and provider experiences, and lower overall cost of care.
