“Hospitals in the Middle East are set to benefit from sophisticated electronic clinical decision support following a new commercial agreement between First DataBank International (FDB International) and GE Healthcare (GE). This new agreement builds on the relationship which First DataBank has with GE Healthcare’s Information Technology business in the US.
GE’s Centricity® Enterprise, will provide Middle Eastern customers with electronic dispensing and prescribing functionality, with clinical decision support enabled by the integration of FDB International’s drug knowledge base. Healthcare providers can use Centricity® Entreprise to help verify the medication about to be prescribed or dispensed to a patient against the patient’s profile. On-screen alerts help a provider to determine if there may be a potential drug interaction, duplicate therapy, sensitivity, contraindication or precaution.”
