Alchemy is an integrated drug database and drug decision support engine that fulfills the evolving medication management needs of today’s complex healthcare systems and applications. Alchemy delivers the most current and accurate drug data and decision support tools seamlessly and cost-effectively, taking users far beyond the capabilities of other drug databases.
Delivers Just-Right Answers for All Healthcare Settings: Built with a layered approach to content, Alchemy is equally effective for prescribing, dispensing, adjudication and analysis. Data can be displayed at a general level or in specific detail, depending on what works best for the end user.
Eliminates Alert Fatigue: While health professionals’ decision support needs are varied and unique, they all require rapid access to accurate, actionable answers. Alchemy’s intelligent screening tools filter the “noise” from your system to present relevant issues only – no more, no less. The result is fully informed decisions in less time.
State-of-the-Art Technology Makes Implementation and Updating Fast and Easy: From strategy to development to implementation, the Alchemy drug database is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing system or application, then to adapt as your IT needs change over time.
Alchemy’s Drug Product file delivers the most accurate and current drug data available today, seamlessly integrated into your system or application, for brand and generic prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, herbals, vitamins, nutritional products, medical devices and diagnostic kits.

Give your users the tools to handle perpetual price fluctuations and the influx of new products with “live” incremental updates through Alchemy’s Drug Pricing file. Developed to help solve reimbursement challenges, Alchemy delivers more accurate data and supports unlimited price types. Alchemy also tracks whether pricing changes are due to manufacturer reported changes, billing unit changes, or errors. When audits or questions about price discrepancies arise, Alchemy’s price change indicator helps to deliver answers more quickly and easily.
Currently available price types are listed below; Alchemy’s flexible architecture also allows for rapid inclusion of new price types as they enter the marketplace.
Counseling patients and their families about their medications is among the most important responsibilities of healthcare professionals today. Patients who understand what to expect from their drug therapy are more likely to comply successfully, leading to better outcomes, reduced adverse drug events, and overall cost savings.
Alchemy’s consumer-friendly drug information sheets serve as handy teaching aids for clinicians at the point of care, and act as reassuring references to patients who may have additional questions at home. Each handout is easy to read, printable and carefully constructed to cover “need to know” medication issues. Congruent with manufacturer labeling, Alchemy’s patient education considers FDA guidance on Consumer Medication Information (CMI), adheres to Keystone Guidelines, and is OBRA 90-compliant.
Each data element is delivered individually to facilitate virtually unlimited display options. Arrange the information by your order of preference, add your logo, include personalized text for patients, and much more.
Alchemy’s Drug Image file delivers an extensive collection of high resolution, full color digital images for prescription and OTC products. The collection includes photographs of oral, solid dosage forms (such as tablets and capsules), non-drug items (such as syringes), and drug packaging as it appears on your pharmacy shelf. The images can be displayed on computer monitors and/or printed, and are ideal for drug dispensing and administration, patient education, and quality assurance and safety.
Drug databases have historically organized drugs in ways that lack the detail necessary to group similar products or facilitate clinical decision support. Users have found themselves sifting through volumes of extraneous data to find the information they need, if they can find it at all. Now, Alchemy’s proprietary clinical hierarchy and classification system offers limitless conceptual possibilities for product aggregation and more. Users can classify and organize drug products with an unprecedented level of precision. This user-friendly hierarchy system makes Alchemy the ideal tool for anyone who needs to evaluate drug data at any level.
Congruent to Alchemy’s content and written for healthcare professionals, our monographs include concise referential information on U.S. prescription drugs, herbals, nutritional and over-the-counter products, plus new and investigational drugs.
