New! PEPID Launches Infobutton


At the HIMSS13 conference, PEPID introduced its new Infobutton technology that works with any hospital EHR system or patient portal and eliminates systems interoperability issues – so all members of the healthcare team can get instant access to clinical and patient information, labs, and drug references – at the touch of a button. Many of the attendees who visited our booth were unaware that Infobutton technology is a requirement for Meaningful Use Stage 2 certification.

With the PEPID Infobutton, all PEPID content is accessible with one click, including patient education, drug information, clinical and disease reference and more. And, the Infobutton is Health Level Seven (HL7) compliant. HL7 is the standard required for the exchange of electronic health information between medical applications in the healthcare industry. The Infobutton manager is able to work with any systems back-end coding such as ICD-9, SNOMED, etc., and returns context-specific information in a user-friendly format for patients, physicians, nurses and pharmacists based on their inquiry.

All the information in PEPID for Patients is available via the Infobutton to instantly provide clinicians or patients with access to thousands of content-specific resources, drug reference, lab results, and more to meet Meaningful Use 2 objectives.

Coming soon! Pediatric Emergency Medicine Suite


PEPID knows one size does not fit all – especially when it comes to patient care. At the recent Pediatric Emergency Assembly in Orlando, PEPID announced plans to make available later this summer its latest suite – PEPID Pediatric Emergency Medicine – a resource specifically developed for the care of even the smallest patients.

Known in the industry for our electronic resources designed for the heat of battle environment of the emergency department, PEPID's new Pediatric Emergency Medicine suite will give healthcare providers instant access to a full range of pediatric emergency and trauma topics, dosing calculators, drug interaction checkers and more.





PEPID Sponsors HIMSS Study - Impact of Health IT


PEPID was a primary sponsor of the recent interdisciplinary survey done by HIMSS and HIMSS Analytics on the ability of health information technology to provide enhanced access to clinical information needed to support patient care.

Key findings were summarized by - General Advantages; Workflow Implications; Information Access; and Communication Tasks. For details see the HIMSS Infographic.
