245. What to Think About When Choosing Clinical Content Solutions

Intended Audience: New to Pharmacy Informatics

What do you need to think about when deciding which clinical content solution providers to go with?

• Does the clinical content match your patient population?
• Is it cost-effective to purchase the content versus having your organization's team manually updating content themselves?
• Is it compatible with your EHR? How much is the work effort to modify the content to fit with your EHR?

Today's episode will be a discussion on these different considerations when deciding on whether you should purchase clinical content for your organization or not.
