Abstract
- Skewed information about medicines in social media influence the healthcare-patient contact. Healthcare staff need situation adapted evidence that can be linked to patient data. For 20 years Sweden has provided praised Pharmacological Knowledge Bases (PKB). They include »Janusmed drug-drug interactions«, »Janusmed drugs and birth defects« and »e-Ped (electronic pediatric) instructions and drug dosage control«. PKBs need to be better integrated into digital tools adhering to a national guide for optimal interface presentation of information. They should be produced by medical editors and delivered through a national digital highway. Experts need to adhere to a policy for handling conflicts of interest and evaluate that information is appreciated and used. PKBs should be accessible as a public good for healthcare staff, students and the public to support personalized medical care.
