Wolters Kluwer Health has recently unveiled the Medi-Span® Expert AI, a new tool aimed at boosting medication intelligence for healthcare tech developers. This platform promises to simplify how AI interacts with medication data, making it easier for developers to create solutions that support faster and safer medication management.
Christopher Sullivan, the Vice President at Wolters Kluwer Health, highlights the rise of AI workflows in healthcare. He says, “Agentic workflows, like AI-driven prescription renewals and hospital medication verification, are the fastest-growing segments in the industry.” This new approach not only optimizes workflows but also helps improve drug decision-making for users. The Medi-Span Expert AI offers a solid knowledge base throughout the medication process, aiming to enhance patient safety and streamline complex tasks.
Digital health companies are under pressure to automate medication management. Physicians and pharmacists need systems that deliver information quickly and accurately. Current tools like APIs and flat files often fall short, slowing innovation. The Medi-Span MCP server addresses this challenge by providing easy access to expertly curated drug content. This allows developers to shorten the time it takes to bring new solutions to market.
The Medi-Span Expert AI isn’t just another tool; it aims to cover various needs in healthcare. Its applications could include clinical decision support, medication order verification, adverse event monitoring, and more. As Jean-Claude Saghbini, CTO of Lumeris, puts it, collaborating with Wolters Kluwer offers access to over 30 years of evidence-based content and advanced AI technology.
