Lexi-Comp relies upon a unique data collection process to ensure that you have the quality data you need when dealing with patients. We depend heavily on the expertise of our authors, who are experts in their fields, to extensively review studies and current literature to reveal the appropriate ways to care for patients. Additionally, we work with a large number of hospitals across the country producing custom formularies for these institutions. This enables us to obtain further feedback from professionals in other settings, allowing us to incorporate any recommended information back into our Poisoning & Toxicology database.
