LexiComp Clinical Drug Reference: Remote Access with the Mobile App
Question: How do I access Lexicomp from home?
Lexicomp is our Ascension-wide clinical drug reference look-up tool, used most often by Pharmacy, Physicians & Providers, Clinicians, Nurses and other health care professionals.
Answer: There are 2 ways to access Lexicomp from home.
1) Use the VPN for remote access, and use it just as you would at work. However, not everyone has VPN access.
You will need to login to Lexicomp from a network connected device (work computer) for an access code.
Select the Lexicomp link from your local Ascension Wisconsin Intranet (or other access point such as EHR, or Library pages).
On the Lexicomp home page, click the Mobile Access Codes button in the lower right hand column. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Once installed, the LexiComp Mobile app :
- Has an unlimited number of users for Ascension acute care hospital associates
- Does not require Internet access
