Free text within medication data still plagues healthcare despite decades of progress in digitization and standardization.
Free text within medication data still plagues healthcare despite decades of progress in digitization and standardization.
Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy found secondary medication history sources lack key information.
University of Michigan Medicine study shows 84% of all prescription instructions need to be edited to improve readability and quality.
According to a study by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs, a lack of standardization puts patients at risk.

“Pharmacy technicians complete our medication histories for the ED and pharmacists check them. On a regular basis, transcription errors occur. With our DrFirst solution, the pharmacist has something to refer to when checking the medication history and can correct these transcription errors. This is the most common way that MedHx and SmartSig prevent ADEs.”

“To save time and improve quality of medication history data when consolidating three EHRs, we developed a data conversion process using DrFirst’s AI engine. This normalized the medication data while addressing discrepancies and variations from the old EHRs, inferring missing data with context from medication histories to prevent blank fields while avoiding manual entry.”

“With SmartSig, we saw a 14% gain in our throughput, and our sig accuracy is at 93%. I have been doing this [work] going on six years, and if you would have told me six years ago that we would have 93% accuracy from a database for home medications, I would have probably looked at you like you were a little bit nuts.”
