Drug Information System (DIS)
The Drug Information System offers on-line, comprehensive, active medication profiles, as well as drug information and drug interaction databases. The system also provides tools and processes to support prescribing, dispensing, compliance monitoring, research, and the formulation of policy regarding prescription medications. The desired outcome of implementing the Drug information System is to enhance the quality of care, facilitate accountability, and promote cost effective usage of medications.
