What we do. Simply stated.
We transform drug data into drug knowledge that’s integrated within our customers’ healthcare information systems.
The drug knowledge that a physician relies on to properly dose a medication from within her hospital’s computerized
prescriber order entry system.
The drug knowledge that a pharmacist utilizes from within his retail pharmacy system to assist in dispensing the right
The drug knowledge that an adjudicator trusts to guide her in processing a claim from within her information system.
Ultimately, we work with our customers to help make their information systems more useful and valuable; and help healthcare professionals make more precise medication-related decisions.
Why we're here. Beyond the drug knowledge business.
If you ask us what it's like to do business with FDB, we'll gladly describe our corporate objectives, highly inventive and responsive staff, methods of operation, programs and policies, and, of course, the value we offer our customers.
But if you want to know why we're in business in the first place, you'll have to look deeper to the real impact of advances in medication decision support. Clinicians better able to manage increasing therapeutic complexity. Healthcare organizations finding new ways to operate more efficiently and effectively. And, most important of all: patients experiencing more effective treatment and outcomes.
Hence, our vision and mission:
Our vision: We seek to create "a world free of medication errors." It is an aspiration that unites our employees behind a common purpose and is an opportunity for use to make a difference.
Our mission: to deliver solutions that improve medication-related decisions to enhance clinical care, patient safety and healthcare outcomes worldwide.
With FDB, you will find an unshakeable commitment to the difference-making power of drug knowledge coupled with an unrelenting determination to help leverage medication intelligence and insights to improve human health.
