MedHx Case Study

Memorial Healthcare System Identifies and Avoids Duplicate Medication Therapies for HFrEF Patients, Avoiding ADE with Technology

Introduction

This case study of Memorial Healthcare System is based on a December 2021 survey of MedHx customers by TechValidate, a third-party research service.

“A beta-blocker with mortality benefit was ordered upon discharge for a HFrEF [heart failure with reduced ejection fraction] patient, and the medication was picked up by the patient. However, there was overlap with a previously ordered beta-blocker. I was able to identify the overlap and prompt the patient whether they were taking both. Patient confirmed they were taking both and the software enabled me to prevent a duplication of therapy.”
