DrFirst

"I was nervous because we had done other vendor implementations within MEDITECH, but I was very pleased with how easy it was to work with DrFirst, I only had to provide route, unit and frequency mapping, which only took a couple of hours, in order to build the SmartStrings the way they needed to be. We did not have to do any of the scripting, which was a problem we had previously. The programmer was very easy to work with and we had weekly calls to plan and execute the implementation. I appreciate the work that DrFirst is doing with MEDITECH to improve e-prescribing and medication reconciliation. They really understand the processes and how to make them easier."

"With the upcoming I-STOP e-prescribing deadline, our members looked to MSSNY to help provide information about the I-STOP legislation as well as guidance on the most effective solutions for legend drug and controlled substance e-prescribing. MSSNY’s healthcare information technology committee conducted a thorough analysis of numerous e-prescribing solutions available in the marketplace. We identified DrFirst as delivering the most effective e-platforms in terms of clinical workflow, ease of use and cost-effectiveness."

“It was a time-consuming process and not efficient for us. We felt like our current technology, that we had readily available in our HIS, was not meeting our needs.”
