Can Your Care Teams Afford a Lower-Cost Clinical Decision Support Solution?
When it comes to choosing a clinical decision support (CDS) solution, the price tag is only part of the equation. While a lower-cost option may seem appealing, it’s crucial to consider the total cost of ownership—especially in terms of patient care, clinical outcomes, and overall organizational efficiency. Will your chosen solution deliver the critical results that impact your bottom line?
Consider this before you decide:
1. Reduce Clinical and Medication Errors
Clinical and medication errors can have serious financial and reputational consequences.
- UpToDate® has been proven to reduce clinical errors by 92% compared to physicians not using a point-of-care resource.
- Lexidrug™, a data drug reference aligned with UpToDate, offers enhanced dosing data on specific patient populations, improving precision in medication decisions.
Real savings, better outcomes.
