VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Health technology pioneer DrFirst Healthcare Innovations has partnered with Southlake Regional Health Centre to pilot a ground-breaking new initiative to modernize how hospitals collect and confirm patients' medications within their MEDITECH Expanse electronic health record (EHR). Using DrFirst's MedHx powered by SmartSuite, Southlake clinicians now have instant access to information about patients' prescriptions directly from participating community pharmacies and the Ontario provincial drug information system, helping to improve the medication reconciliation process, reducing time spent on these activities by 64% overall, based on data DrFirst compiled during the pilot.

Key Points: 
  • Medication reconciliation is a vital patient safety practice that helps avoid medication errors and hospitalizations while lowering the length of stay.
  • In hospitals and health systems, medication reconciliation is performed when patients come to the emergency department and at transitions of care including patient admissions and discharge and is an important element in hospital accreditation.
  • As part of the process, clinicians collect patients' medication history to inform prescribing decisions and avoid errors.
  • "Congratulations to Southlake for piloting this initiative with DrFirst that reduces the amount of time spent on medication reconciliation while improving its safety," said Nick Palmieri, regional sales director, Canada, MEDITECH.
