As a pharmacist, do your customers ever come to you confused after researching their medications on the internet hoping you can interpret all the information they just read? How would you like to be able to refer your customers to a website that is easy to navigate and that will answer their questions and concerns? Well, you need to look no further because the answer is finally here.
The National Community Pharmacists Association (N.C.P.A.), the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Association (NASPA) and Mirixa Corporation have announced the beta launch of RxWiki, the first Web 2.0 medication therapy management encyclopedia for consumers, written and edited by pharmacists. RxWiki also serves as a community network for pharmacists to create and share information for their patients and consumers at large, and to collaborate in the advancement of Medication Therapy Management (MTM).
RxWiki features include:
- Medication content created by authorized pharmacists
- Latest articles from leading medical news services via RSS content syndication
- Weekly newsletter personalized for subscribing consumers
- Easy to integrate website “gadget” provides access to search RxWiki from pharmacy websites
- Free Toolbar provides search capabilities, updated information and links to other resources
KYPO checked out this website and must admit we were quite impressed. We were so impressed that we have added a permanent link under our “Pharmacist Links” and our “General Public Links” on the right side of this blog. The information RxWiki provides on the medications is quite easy to comprehend unlike most websites that offer drug information.
Pharmacists, RxWiki is looking for more Pharmacists to contribute to their site. Please visit here to find out how you can help. In addition, www.rxwiki.com would be a great link to add to your pharmacy website.
