Comparative StudyClinical decision support tools: analysis of online drug information databases.
Online drug information databases are used to assist in enhancing clinical decision support. However, the choice of which online database to consult, purchase or subscribe to is likely made based on subjective elements such as history of use, familiarity, or availability during professional training. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical decision support tools for drug information by systematically comparing the most commonly used online drug information databases. ⋯ Online drug information databases, which belong to clinical decision support, vary in their ability to answer questions across a range of categories.
