FDB Multilex®

With over 30 years’ experience, FDB has built long-standing partnerships with the leading clinical system vendors. Multilex integrates into existing workflow and is used at the point of care as a trusted e-prescribing decision support tool. Integrating the Multilex drug database with an electronic patient record enables context-specific drug knowledge and enhanced functionality that helps to reduce prescribing errors.

Improve Patient Safety

Multilex integrates into electronic patient record (EPR) and e-prescribing systems to support active clinical checking against a patient’s medication record. This integration gives clinical staff the support and information required to safely prescribe the most appropriate medications. The real-time clinical alerts and warnings highlighted within the e-prescribing process assist in reducing the risk of medical errors.

Reduce Dosing Errors

Multilex includes predefined, patient-specific, dose order sentences that can be used to help reduce over and under-dosing. The intelligent dose algorithm uses patient data such as age, weight, body surface area to determine appropriate drug doses. Multilex enables in-built checks of doses before the prescription is confirmed (including dose range check and cumulative dose check) to ensure that the risk of medication dose error is reduced.
