“I have been using your database for one day and certainly do not know all of the ins and outs yet, but it has proved very informative and extremely helpful in accessing different categories of information very quickly. I am really liking the way I can go from conditions, to nutraceuticals, to herbs, to PubMed with very few clicks of the mouse. My initial thought for subscribing was to streamline my time spent researching and cross-referencing. Just using your service this one day has shown me that the money spent was well spent. Looking forward to a very productive first year.”

“This is part of our process to make our allopathic providers rise to a more consistent standard with regard to giving advice to patients who ask about herbal treatments or complementary practices. We found after investigation that advice or knowledge was widely scattered or variable among our staff. As the medical director, this sort of random variability is less than desirable, and we needed to employ a fix that could be easily used and was felt to be accurate. This site allows us to close this variability gap and assists providers who are not otherwise confident about their knowledge base about these issues to feel more supported. Patients may also get more timely information about items who, prior to this addition, were only using friends and family as resources, and who also displayed a wide variability of opinion that was often based on very limited evidence.”
“While we may not shift our focus strongly toward the delivery of complementary care, this allows our system to more appropriately provide advice to patients, and also serves to address the JCHAO requirement of collecting an accurate list of all medications being taken, and the list of potential interactions that could result.”
“For us, this allowed not only the ability to address patients information needs appropriately but also dealt with a regulatory standard from JCHAO.”
