E-Prescribing Nightmares Haunting Your Organization? Banish Them With Integrated Medication Management

E-Prescribing Nightmares Haunting Your Organization? Banish Them With Integrated Medication Management
3:12

This spooky season, forget the ghosts and goblins—what’s truly chilling for healthcare organizations is endless manual data entry, prior authorization (PA) delays, and readmissions caused by medication non-adherence. 

This Halloween, it’s time to banish the ghosts of inefficient processes and embrace integrated medication management solutions that put these healthcare horrors to rest. 

Navigate Prior Authorizations Like Magic 

Just like a skilled magician makes complex tricks look effortless, electronic prior authorization (ePA) can transform your most challenging workflows. When patients face serious conditions like cancer or chronic diseases, speed to therapy is critical. Yet complex PA processes can jeopardize patient outcomes and strain your organization’s resources. 

The challenge becomes more complex with the rise of specialty medications, especially those that must be administered by a healthcare provider and fall under both pharmacy and medical benefits. Managing PAs efficiently and staying ahead of upcoming regulatory deadlines that influence product roadmaps is no easy feat. 

New technology can reduce PA processing time by up to 70%, allowing your clinical teams to focus on patient care rather than administrative tasks.

Don’t Let Manual Data Entry Be a Time Suck 

Manual data entry has become a productivity vampire for healthcare organizations. Clinical-grade AI is changing that because it’s designed for real-world healthcare challenges like medication reconciliation and system migrations. 

Not all AI is created equal. Clinical-grade AI from DrFirst is trained on real-world prescription data and validated by doctors and pharmacists, acting as a trusted co-pilot in the medication management journey. However, it will never replace clinical judgment—only inferring data when it’s safe to do so and always keeping clinicians in the loop.

Stop Readmissions From Rising Like Zombies 

Preventable readmissions are the zombies of healthcare—they keep coming back, disrupting patients’ lives and straining hospital resources. Medication adherence challenges are often the cause.  

Stopping preventable readmissions requires a comprehensive approach to medication management, including:  

  • Patient engagement platforms that provide timely, automated, and personalized communications. 
  • Analytics dashboards that track medication adherence and readmission risk factors so you can intervene early.
