Doctors’ Memorial Hospital

During Hurricane Michael, an elderly lady came into our ER. Fortunately she didn’t have any acute issues; she was just a hurricane evacuee who had run out of medicine. She had a small pill planner with a few half-tablets left in it. Not surprisingly, she couldn’t remember the names of her medications.

We performed a quick search in DrFirst’s MedHx^℠ which gave us a good med history including the names of her current meds. Two minutes later, she was on her way to the local pharmacy to get an emergency supply of her heart and thyroid medications.

Without MedHx, this process would have taken longer. Thanks for a great product!

Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital

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.

Boston Medical Center

[MedHx helped avoid] a possible duplicate insulin [order] from PCP and diabetes specialist. The patient never mentioned that they were seeing an outside specialist but with DrFirst we were able to prevent a possible ADE.

Berger Health

We were very happy with the ease of implementing MedHx and how quickly DrFirst was able to get everything in place.

University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center

[MedHx is an] excellent resource for the ED since it has helped us identify possible medication-related issues for patients when they usually do not know their medications at all and do not bring accurate lists with them. This has saved us countless hours of time on the phone with local pharmacies.

Stephens County Hospital

With one patient we almost prescribed Tridil for treatment, but after reviewing MedHx we found out that he had taken Viagra within the last 24 hours. We intervened and avoided an ADE that would have caused irreversible hypotension.

Knox Community Hospital

MedHx is saving phone calls to other pharmacies and fills in a lot of information that the patients don’t remember.

As the lead for the Formulary Service Vendor transition team, I was confident that DrFirst’s SmartStrings℠ would deliver the solution we were seeking to make the medication lookup manageable for nurses and providers. Our ongoing relationship with DrFirst and their proven excellence in e-prescribing gave me the assurance I needed to move forward and have Avera be one of the initial sites to implement SmartStrings.

North Canyon Medical Center

MedHx^℠ has been the best product we’ve ever purchased since I’ve worked here. It works just like it’s supposed to. The benefits of MedHx were evident right away. Not only did we get clear, concise reports, they included dosage and directions rather than just the name of the drug. We could also see if the patient was using multiple pharmacies or multiple doctors, giving us an expanded view of the patient’s med history and preventing duplicate medications or therapies. In addition, we were finding more of our patients through MedHx than we had found through the HIS feed.

MedHx has been the best product we’ve ever purchased since I’ve worked here. 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 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.

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.
