The idea of “A World Free of Medication Errors” might seem easy to scoff at. You could ask, “How is First DataBank going to make this happen?” Or, “Is it even possible?”

But questions focusing on the “how,” the “when” or even the “if” simply miss the point. Instead, think of a world free of medication errors as a driving force, a north star, an aspiration. Think of it as a goal that sparks the imagination and inspires passion. Think of it as a commitment to unite each and every one of our employees behind a common purpose. Think of it as an opportunity to make a difference that matters.

This aspiration is the driving force for First DataBank as a purpose driven company–a company passionately committed to improving patient safety and healthcare quality in everything we do. We understand that our commitment means we must continue to create and deliver drug databases that enhance system usability and optimize medication use, enabling better, more confident medication-related decisions.

It means we must continue to embrace the needs of system developers and healthcare end-users with solutions that seamlessly facilitate the integration of data, system and clinician.

Maybe it’s true that no one person or even one company alone can create a world free of medication errors. But working together as one, First DataBank – unified with system developers and clinicians – can help drive progress.
