What is Clinical Decision Support?

First DataBank Asia Pacific's electronic clinical decision support is designed to provide healthcare professionals with intelligently filtered, patient-specific drug information at appropriate times throughout a patient's care. The emphasis is on supporting clinicians in their clinical decision making, rather than making decisions for them.

Our clinical decision support helps clinicians to select an appropriate medication and the correct dose. It reviews the patient's allergies, conditions and concurrent medications and triggers on-screen alerts if the newly selected medication could be harmful to the patient.

When integrated into clinical systems and linked with a patient's record, our clinical decision support enables safer prescribing, dispensing and administration, helping to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety.
