How does the formulary manager maintain the formulary information with Epocrates?
When a health care organization or hospital partners with Epocrates for the Epocrates Formulary Hosting Service, the formulary manager works with Epocrates to load its formulary status codes into the Epocrates system. There are NO Information Technology resources required for loading and updating the formulary information. The formulary manager can also add drug-specific messages for each drug that will display in a pop-up window along with the formulary status. The formulary manager can update the institution’s formulary codes and custom clinical messages monthly, ensuring that hospital staff always has access to current formulary information at the point of care.
