Health Care Notification Network Goes Live

Filed under: Public Health

The health care industry is getting a new notification service for staying up to date on the latest drug recalls, warnings, and public health emergencies. Currently, physicians receive newly discovered information about drug safety in their snail mailboxes, sent directly by the manufacturer to a list of known, relevant physicians. Health Care Notification Network, the new system created by Medem of San Francisco, California is supported by a bunch of pharmaceuticals, insurance firms, orgs, and medical centers, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, J&J, American College of Surgeons, and others (full list .pdf). The network will be using email to quickly disseminate time sensitive info to the doctors, saving precious time as well as money.
