Podcast: Becker’s Talks Medication Management with Colin Banas, M.D.

Scott Becker, Publisher and Founder of Becker’s Hospital Review, kicks off 2022 by talking to Colin Banas, M.D., M.H.A., about his transition from clinical practice to the software technology side of medicine, how DrFirst is using applied clinical research to measure the impact of solutions on providers and patients, and the importance of getting patient medication history right.

“When you don’t get medication lists right, people get hurt and patients get readmitted,” says Dr. Banas. “We provide the most robust history available to make sure patient medication lists are correct and providers can get patients on appropriate therapy and keep them on therapy—safely.”

Listen to the latest edition of the Becker’s Digital Health Podcast to hear Scott and Dr. Banas explore how new technology provides clinical support that can translate to better patient safety and engagement, and ultimately result in better outcomes.
