Wolters Kluwer Health to acquire Pharmacy OneSource
Wolters Kluwer Health has entered into an agreement to acquire Pharmacy OneSource, a healthcare software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider that helps hospitals manage patient safety, compliance and efficiency.
Pharmacy OneSource, of Bellevue, Wash., currently works with more than 1,200 hospitals globally, and assists with medication tracking, pediatric dosing, drug interaction checking, managing formularies, documenting and monitoring clinical interventions, and avoiding medication errors and adverse drug reactions via the web or handheld computer, as well as managing checklists to facilitate accurate and consistent compliance reporting.
