Drug interaction micromputer software evaluation: RxTriage.
RxTriage was evaluated using general and specific criteria. The installation process, ease of learning and use, and technical support were rated excellent. The user documentation was good. The scope of coverage, frequency of updates and overall clinical performance were good. The quality of the clinical documentation, which included key drug interaction texts and primary references, was excellent. The primary advantages of the program are the quality of its data base and interaction information and the inclusion of decision support tables. The disadvantage is the relative high cost as compared to other available microcomputer programs.
