MedHx Customer Testimonial

Can you provide an example of when medication history data from MedHx with SmartSig enabled your team to avoid an ADE?

With one patient, MedHx allowed us to catch a Toprol XL order that was mistakenly entered as three times a day when it should have been once a day.

MedHx Customer Testimonial

Can you provide an example of when medication history data from MedHx with SmartSig enabled your team to avoid an ADE?

Pharmacy technicians complete our medication histories for the ED and pharmacists check them. On a regular basis, transcription errors occur even from MedHx to Epic. The pharmacist has something to refer to when checking the medication history and can correct these transcription errors by comparing to MedHx. This is the most common way that MedHx prevents ADEs.
