USA - Mission:
- The Division of Drug Information Service provides drug information systems and services throughout the world to improve human health care.
- Products:
- Two main components of the service are the Iowa Drug Information Service (IDIS) and the Iowa Drug Information Network (IDIN).
The IDIS drug information database is a bibliographic indexing service for over 200 premier English language medical and pharmaceutical journals. IDIN is an educational and service program designed to provide drug information and evaluative services and support the drug information role of pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care.
Additional Content in IDIS/Web:
• FDA approval packages- we have doubled the coverage of these documents (also known as SBAs). Use descriptor 155 to find FDA approval packages.
• Reports from the FDA Advisory Committees- were added to IDIS/Web beginning in 2006. Advisory committee reports, like approval packages, provide access to data from pivotal studies which have often not been published. Advisory committee reports may be available prior to marketing of the drug. Use descriptor 164 to find these documents.
• Black box warnings-. Over 400 FDA approved medications include boxed warnings in their labeling. We have created a searchable database within IDIS to facilitate access to the information in these warnings. Use descriptor 165 to find Black box warnings.
• Priority Clinical Practice Guidelines- for the most authoritative CPGs use descriptor 168
• AHRQ Evidence Reports and AHRQ Comparative Effectiveness Reviews. These are evidence-based reviews prepared under the direction of AHRQ. Use drug and/or disease terms combined with the journal title abbreviation AHRQ EVID REP or AHRQ COMP EFF REV
• National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) Clinical Guidelines or Technology Appraisal Guidance. Developed using the expertise of the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales and the wider healthcare community including NHS staff, healthcare professionals, patients and carers, industry and the academic world. Search the Journal field with NICE CLIN GUIDEL or NICE TECHNOL APPRAISAL GUID
• IDIN Answers database includes over 1400 records. IDIN answers is a searchable database of drug information questions with answers. This database is a useful drug information resource and can also be used as a resource for creating student assignments or exercises.
• User training materials. We have a slide set and simulation program (animated tutorial) along with the previously available html tutorial, quick reference guide, other print and online training materials. These materials save faculty time teaching students how to use IDIS, as well as help new users of IDIS to become expert searchers. Training materials are accessible without logging into IDIS/Web.
• IowaTeach- Iowa Teaching Cases for Health. This is a therapeutic case database created in the Clinical and Administrative Division of the College of Pharmacy The database is searchable with IDIS drug and disease terms. It also has a descriptor vocabulary designed for the information content of therapeutics cases, and potential uses of the case for teaching purposes. After conducting a search you can download a case as a Word file. The cases include medical and medication history, basic demographics, and a variety of other details related to identification of potential drug therapy problems, goals, therapeutic plan, monitoring, and follow-up. Additional teaching materials applicable to a case may be available.
