| HUDSON, OHIO – October 28, 2007 – Lexi-Comp, Inc., a leading provider of pharmacology information and clinical content, recently signed an agreement with DSN Software, Inc., the software development company that engineers innovative practice management software solutions for dental specialty practices. Through this contract, Lexi-Comp’s drug information will soon be available from within DSN’s end-to-end practice management systems, providing dental specialists with access to vital information about dangerous interactions and a specific medication’s effect on dental treatment.
In this premier partnership, users of DSN’s practice management solutions can store a patient’s medication profile right within the patient record and, with one click, view Lexi-Comp’s information based on the profile entered. Users have the option to view an entire monograph, including dental-specific fields of information such as Effects on Dental Treatment, Effects on Bleeding, and Vasoconstrictor/Local Anesthetic Precautions. They can also perform an interaction analysis on the list of drugs in the profile, or view Dental Alerts that warn of medications that will influence treatment or could cause harmful effects to the patient. The partnership also provides access to Lexi-Comp Patient Advisory Leaflets (Lexi-PALS™) on adult and pediatric medications, written for the patient or caregiver.
“The integration between Lexi-Comp and DSN Software is very powerful,” commented Ryan Smith, director of partnering for Lexi-Comp. “It creates a practice management system in the dental market where clear, concise, and accurate pharmacology information is truly integrated within the context of the patient’s record, a resource that can help dental specialists improve medication safety and save time in their practice,” Smith added.
DSN’s president, Charles Black, further commented, “Trusted partnerships with companies like Lexi-Comp help make it possible for Perio-Exec to deliver today’s highest standards in patient safety. Our clients deserve nothing less.”
