What our customers are saying

  • Simple to set up and easy to use
  • Providing quality care with EHR integrations
Lexicomp linking was simple to set up, and the support was great. We had several direct contacts [at Wolters Kluwer] we could email or call, and the response was quick. Having links to Lexicomp integrated in our EHR system has made reaching valuable drug content easy.

These [solutions] are core components of our systematic approach to providing effective pharmacotherapeutic care to our community.
