Sultan Qaboos University Hospital adopts First DataBank for clinical decision support in Middle East

13 July 2010

First DataBank, a leading global provider of drug databases and clinical decision support, today announces a partnership with Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, a  500 bed university hospital located in Muscat, Oman.  In the new partnership, First DataBank’s clinical decision support and drug database is integrated with the hospital’s InterSystems TrakCare™ connected health information system as part of its patient safety and graduate learning initiatives. 

First DataBank’s drug database will support medical staff by enabling them to access detailed drug information electronically. The comprehensive information, which includes dosing and drug indications, will be available to staff whilst prescribing and dispensing medications.   

Clinical decision support will provide clinicians with tailored warning messages on potential drug-drug interactions, as well as allergens and duplicate therapies during the prescribing and dispensing process.  

Dr. Ahmed Al Mandhary, Director  General of the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital comments “Academic health science centres are recognised for their innovation at an international level. We hope to engender best practice within our graduates and improve patient safety at the same time”.  

Darren Nichols, Managing Director of First DataBank, adds “Sultan Qaboos University Hospital represents one of the finest teaching facilities in the Middle East. We are pleased to partner with an organisation demonstrating leadership in the area of clinical decision support and look forward to developing a close working relationship with the University over the coming months”.
