Abstract
A reporting system, including a processing device, and method provides drug and medical device safety and support information during a workflow of a healthcare provider. The system and method electronically acquires, maps, generates, compiles, verifies and transfers in real time critical information regarding particular drugs and medical devices required by healthcare providers, such as a prescriber, at the optimum time in which the healthcare provider needs the information. In an embodiment, the drug and medical device safety information is accessed from an associated healthcare website, such as an Electronic Health Record (EHR) web site, during a prescription stage in the healthcare providers workflow for a particular patient. The system and method also includes an adverse reporting system that allows for the drug and medical device safety information to be updated and accurately reported in an efficient and up to date manner. In an embodiment, a healthcare provider reports an adverse event or reaction to a drug by a patient during a workflow at a EHR web site. The adverse event information is forwarded to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and the particular drug manufacturer which may update the corresponding drug information. The updated drug information may then be reported by the system to insure that healthcare providers receive the most current, accurate and complete safety information during a workflow. In embodiments, the updated drug and medical information may be provided to malpractice insurance carriers to further ensure safety.
