As a leader in drug knowledge solutions, FDB aims to share transformative customer success stories and innovative tools designed to enhance patient care and safety.

Advancing Medication Decision Support

At booth #2835, visitors can discover how FDB's trusted drug knowledge supports healthcare professionals—physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and clinical informatics leaders—in delivering superior patient care. By integrating advanced medication decision support, patient education, and ePrescribing solutions, FDB empowers clinicians to make precise, individualized medication decisions.

Exciting Customer Success Stories

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from real-life stories demonstrating how healthcare organizations have benefitted from FDB's solutions. These case studies showcase remarkable achievements in enhancing medication alert acceptance, improving operational efficiency, and boosting overall patient safety through actionable, data-driven insights.

Key Areas of Focus

1. Optimized Alert Management
Lehigh Valley Health Network successfully implemented FDB’s Targeted Medication Warnings™, drastically reducing hyperkalemia alerts by 71% and achieving over 60% acceptance from clinicians. Another success story from Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) illustrates a similar decrease in drug-drug interaction alerts while improving their Leapfrog CPOE test scores significantly. This advancement helps minimize alert fatigue and focuses clinician attention on critical alerts pertinent to patient care.

2. Integration of Pharmacogenomics
The Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences exemplified the integration of real-time pharmacogenomic decision support into its workflow, enhancing personalized patient care. By analyzing gene-drug interactions, clinicians can tailor treatment plans to match an individual patient’s genetic profile—ultimately optimizing therapeutic outcomes.

3. Improved Medication Understanding
ChristianaCare's use of FDB's Meducation® Solution demonstrates the importance of patient education. By providing medication instructions in multiple languages and simplified formats, this initiative has successfully improved medication understanding for over 31,000 patients.

Innovations for Enhanced Workflow

FDB continues to refine its solutions to ensure they meet the evolving needs of healthcare professionals. The FDB AlertSpace® has facilitated the customization of medication alerts, significantly reducing the volume of non-actionable notifications and allowing clinicians to dedicate more time to meaningful patient interactions. Tools like Meducation® Bedside streamline the medication counseling process for nurses, ultimately improving HCAHPS scores and patient satisfaction.

4. Enhancing Drug Price Transparency
With the introduction of the FDB Vela™ ePrescribing network, patients can finally access drug pricing information to make informed decisions without any surprise costs at the pharmacy. This initiative aims to eradicate prescription abandonment caused by unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
