Carestream Dental Inks Partnership with Lexicomp for Access to Clinical Data

Integration of drug and clinical content database with practice management
software improves patient care, further streamlines office administration

ATLANTA and HUDSON, OHIO – Carestream Dental LLC, a subsidiary of Carestream
Health, Inc., and the exclusive manufacturer of KODAK Dental Systems, announces
today it has entered into a comprehensive data-sharing agreement with Lexicomp, a
global provider of drug information and drug data solutions for healthcare professionals.
Through this venture, Lexicomp’s vast, subscription-based database of comprehensive
drug information and clinical reference content will be made accessible through
Carestream Dental’s SoftDent, PracticeWorks, Windent and WinOMS CS software.*
“As with many of our products and services, our goal for this partnership is to maximize
oral health professionals’ ability to further streamline office management and spend
quality time on patient care,” said Patrik Eriksson, president and CEO, Carestream
Dental LLC.

“By giving practice professionals the ability to access Lexicomp data and pull it directly
into patient records with their existing practice management software, we can improve
decision support to ensure patient safety and eliminate several steps in an otherwise
lengthy data entry process,” Eriksson said. “This reduces the chance of errors and saves
practices valuable time as they check on drug interactions.”
Lexicomp maintains an in-house clinical team comprised of advanced-degreed
pharmacists with significant clinical and academic experience. This team performs daily
surveillance of announcements by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration plus
pharmaceutical manufacturers. This critical information is compiled and made available
to heath care systems regarding drug availability; new dosage forms; and revisions to
contraindications, warnings or other changes.
