This is my question.

And it comes down to liability as well. Basing your treatment decisions on UpToDate or NCCS guidelines or Cochrane Reviews is pretty defensible. But basing it on the findings of an AI start up? How is that being addressed?

But don’t get me wrong. I think there is a lot of value in physicians having easy access to pharmacists to discuss treatment options. Right now that doesn’t happen that easily.

Totally agree- before we started doing anything we had to understand what we could and couldn't say. We probably interviewed as many lawyers as potential customers !

The consequences of wording something wrongly are huge.

To be clear, we stop short of making recommendations. Our goal is to give the provider all the info she needs to make her own evidence informed decision.
