1. What is FormWeb?
FormWeb combines three key elements:
- A custom formulary, based on your NDC numbers.
- A custom website, where you can communicate medication safety information from items on your intranet, the internet, your PC, 3-ring binders or items you scan in.
- An editor website, where you update and make changes to your FormWeb site. Once you input changes, they are available to your users immediately.
- As a bonus, our clients have access to the FormWeb Library composed of contributions from pharmacists all over the U.S. It includesbest practices information and a library of electronic forms, called FormShare, composed of ADR’s and other forms which our client pharmacies need frequently.
- A second bonus is full access to BlackBoxRx.com, the most comprehensive online database of black box warnings available.
For your users: FormWeb serves as THE entry point for all of your med safety technology systems and software applications. One place for access to your drug information, CPOE, ADR, interventions and other resources.
2. Can FormWeb save me money?
Yes. FormWeb:
- Reduces the number of calls to the pharmacy, reducing interruptions to pharmacists’ work.
- Allows physicians to see drug costs on every drug.
- Simplifies the use of automatic substitutions.
3. How does FormWeb help me with The Joint Commission?
FormWeb helps you meet or exceed over 30 of The Joint Commission’s standards for medication management. No other product does more.
“Just to let you know the Joint Commission was very impressed with our FormWeb pharmacy site. Although I am still working on it, they especially liked the Sound alike – Look alike section and High Alert section on the page." - Don Halliday, Director of Pharmacy, EMH Regional Medical Center, Elyria, OH
4. Can FormWeb be accessed remotely on my phone?
Yes. Users can access FormWeb from their desktop, cell phone or print it.
5. I’m not a computer whiz. What kind of training do I get?
Don’t worry! FormWeb is intuitive and easy to use. When you become a FormWeb client, you will receive four private training sessions and access to ongoing group teleconference refresher trainings. And our world class service means we’re always available via phone or email for your questions.
6. What about information security and confidentiality?
FormWeb is flexible enough to meet all security settings and requirements. Tell us about your specific concerns, and we will make sure those are handled appropriately for your application. Also, we never share your information with anyone.
7. What differentiates FormWeb from the other online formulary products out there?
Our clients tell us that our service is unparalleled. For more information, click here to see Top 10 Reasons to Trust FormWeb.
8. What else makes you different?
- We’re real. We don’t speak in jargon to impress people. We’re not a huge corporation. We have people here in the U.S. who are eager to help clients when they call.
- FormWeb’s application varies from hospital to hospital because every hospital has different needs and FormWeb can meet those. We are not an off-the-shelf product. We invite all prospective clients to look at three of our clients’ sites to see what we mean.
- We promote freedom of choice in drug information. We can link to any drug information provider you choose, and if you change from one to another, we can easily change the link. (If you buy your website through your DI provider, then ever want to change DI, you lose the website you’ve built there.)
- No extra charges. Customer service is included in your annual subscription. We don’t nickel and dime our clients for features they don’t use at first, but decide they want later. One price covers the creation of a custom website, hosting it on our servers, and helping keep the information on it updated. In addition, FormWeb is enhanced a minimum of twice per month with no additional charge for new features.
- We’re innovators. FormWeb keeps evolving based on the requests of our clients and dynamic changes in the medication safety industry.
