“LGH is committed to optimizing clinical and technical workflows that enhance patient safety, increase efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. We have partnered with DrFirst to identify where practices are not in sync with use of technology, document our policies and training materials, and perform regular compliance audits in an effort to mitigate variance and reduce patient risk. Working with DrFirst, we were able to achieve medication reconciliation excellence and demonstrate documented benefits realization.”
"We chose DrFirst because the company has a long-standing reputation for providing the best e-prescribing solution in the industry. We strive to bring best-in-class technology to our customers, and DrFirst’s Rcopia® certainly meets that standard. Working with the DrFirst team has been just as positive. Their integration team, working together with our own, actually has us ahead of our original integration timeline."
“My small pharmacy department was tasked to the point that we could not enhance the strings that existed with the staff we had."
"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."
"Since implementing MedHx, we have completely changed our process for acquiring medication history. Now our ER nurses complete the process in 5 to 10 minutes. It’s faster, and more accurate, and we get a one-year history of meds instead of just a current list. This enables our doctors to do the admission medication reconciliation with the admission order. It’s better and safer for our patients, and saves us a lot of time."
"We were very happy with the ease of implementing MedHx℠ and how quickly DrFirst was able to get everything in place."
"MedHx is saving phone calls to other pharmacies and fills in a lot of information that the patients don’t remember."
"DrFirst’s customer support is over the top."
"The outcome was definitive: MedHx was the superior solution. We had better match rates and DrFirst’s lists almost always had fuller medication history."
"We chose DrFirst for controlled substance e-prescribing based on its industry-leading expertise, its total-solution support covering the identity proofing process, token management and end-user onboarding, as well as the flexibility of its technology which will enable us to integrate EPCS Gold℠ into all three of our EHR software platforms."
"MedHx gives us more than just drug information, we get a more complete clinical picture of the patient’s health. Armed with that information, we now tailor our patient conversations better."
"We would not be able to do our jobs as well without the MedHx application, which has become an indispensable resource for us here at Summit Healthcare. DrFirst helps our doctors and pharmacists, as well as our patients and families, and helps us live up to our mission and the pride we take in patient safety."
“We’ve already experienced a positive impact on the coordination of patient care through improved communications, and we expect that increased utilization by staff will drive even better patient outcomes."
“If DrFirst can determine that the SIG that was parsed is very reliable, it will go and plug it in and put a purple icon next to the SIG up above. It’s something our providers think is very reliable.”
“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.”
