MedicinesComplete information subscription service expands
The Pharmaceutical Press has announced the addition of American Hospital
Formulary (AHFS) to MedicinesComplete. MedicinesComplete brings together
some of the world's leading drug and health care references on one integrated
platform.
AHFS Drug Information (AHFS DI) is one of the most comprehensive sources
of unbiased and authoritative drug information available to health professionals.
It features reliable, evidence-based data on more than 50,000 drug products.
A wholly independent staff of drug information pharmacists and other
professional editorial and analytical staff thoroughly research AHFS
content. The monographs include tens of thousands of references, including
clinical research findings, therapeutic guidelines, and Food and Drug
Administration approved labelling. The US Congress and various health
care insurance providers have recognised the authority of AHFS DI as
a source of information on the medically accepted uses of drugs. AHFS
DI went live on MedicinesComplete on 8 May.
Charles Fry, managing director of RPS Publishing, said: “RPS Publishing
is delighted to be working with the American Society of Health-System
Pharmacists to include AHFS DI within MedicinesComplete. AHFS DI is an
ideal companion publication to major reference works such as Martindale
and Stockley’s Drug Interactions and adds to the international
appeal of our online subscription service. We welcome the opportunity
to offer AHFS to a wider audience via MedicinesComplete.”
Carol Wolfe, vice-president of ASHP’s publications and drug information
system office, said: “We are very pleased by this new collaboration
between ASHP and RPSP to extend access to AHFS Drug Information to clinicians
and researchers throughout the world. The MedicinesComplete collection,
now complemented by AHFS Drug Information, provides excellent resources
to all who are engaged in advancing evidence-based drug therapy.”
Subscribers to MedicinesComplete can “pick and mix” from
a list of publications with one or more titles available with annual
licences for individuals, groups or organisations. Further information
