Brief summary
Leumit Health Services, an health maintenance organization operating in Israel, will incorporate a web-based, decision support system for handling drug-drug interactions and drug information, termed DDI+ reinforced with patient specific pharmacogenetic data. The investigators hypothesize that implementing such a system will reduce health-care expenditures (e.g., hospital admissions, referrals to ERs, Imaging procedures).
