New MedAppz Module Protects Patients From Dangerous Drug Interactions

MedAppz, the leader in web-based electronic health record (EHR) applications, today announced that it has built into the MedAppz iSuite new technology that automatically
detects and alerts physicians about potentially harmful drug-drug and
drug-allergy interactions.



Called the Drug-Drug Interaction Module (DDIM), the new technology is
free to all current and future MedAppz iSuite users and is available
immediately.



"There are over two million adverse drug interactions each year, and
more than 100,000 resulting deaths," said Brian Lichtlin, MedAppz CEO. "By
building this potentially life-saving capability into our MedAppz iSuite
software at no cost to our physician users, we are giving physicians one
more reason to buy an EHR system, and one more differentiation between us
and competitors."



According to the Center of Disease Evaluation and Research, adverse
drug interactions are a more common cause of death than pulmonary disease,
diabetes, AIDS, and automobile accidents.



The DDIM functions entirely automatically. When a physician is
considering prescribing a medication for a patient, the moment he enters it
into the system, the MedAppz iSuite immediately compares and checks it
against patient allergies and other medications the patient is taking. If
there are potentially harmful interactions, the system immediately throws
an alert, so that the physician can choose an alternative medication.



The DDIM defines 14 different sorts of clinical effects and four levels
of severity for any given adverse drug interaction. The levels of severity
range from Contraindicated Drug Combinations (in which case two given drugs
should never be taken at the same time) to Severe Interactions, Moderate
Interactions, and finally Undetermined Severity - Alternative Therapy
Interactions (where interactions may occur, but its severity is unknown and
is not prohibited by the FDA).



The MedAppz iSuite is a comprehensive system that allows ambulatory
care practices to securely schedule appointments, chart patient
information, write prescriptions, bill patients, and file claims over the
web. The MedAppz iSuite Service is currently used in more than 200 clinics
across the nation.
