MedHx Case Study
This case study of William Newton Hospital is based on a July 2020 survey of MedHx customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.
“MedHx has improved our ability to reduce Adverse Drug Events (ADEs). We use the days supply to calculate how a patient should take their meds. Many times they tell us incorrectly on the initial interview and when we ask them again using the MedHx information they realize they have mixed it up with other medications.”
“It has helped us to avoid some serious errors with coumadin.”
Kelle Thompson, Director of Pharmacy, William Newton Hospital
