(Spartanburg, SC – October 30, 2019) QS/1, the premier pharmacy operating system provider and innovator, is excited to announce it has teamed with DrFirst to facilitate medication history delivery from its customers across the country who use DrFirst’s MedHxSM solution. MedHx is a world-class and user-friendly patient medication history solution that allows healthcare providers to search patients’ medication history at the point of care to improve their health and enhance patient safety.
“The partnership helps QS/1 customers collaborate with prescribers to enhance patient care,” said Tabb Stringer, QS/1’s vice president of product management. “QS/1 community pharmacists can now easily provide prescribers who use DrFirst’s MedHx solution with the medication history information they need within their workflow to reduce medication errors and adverse drug events, as well as avoid treatment delays.”
Using DrFirst’s MedHx, physicians can search a patient’s medication history to determine the level of medication compliance and use those medication history details to influence prescribing decisions and enhance patient safety. “When clinicians don’t have the full picture of a patient’s medication history, patient safety is at serious risk,” said G. Cameron Deemer, president of DrFirst. “This partnership gives prescribers the medication history they need within their existing workflow.”
QS/1 securely delivers the pharmacy’s patient medication history data to DrFirst where it becomes available to MedHx users. This secure and automated process benefits patients when they seek medical care and lightens the burden on pharmacy staff when providers request information directly, which could occur at any time day or night.
