What You Should Know:
– Healthcare technology company DrFirst has announced the release of its next generation, patented SmartSig AI technology to improve the quality of patient medication history when it is imported into hospitals’ and health systems’ electronic health records (EHRs).
– Simple prescription instructions, called “sigs,” can have hundreds of variations or be missing entirely from patients’ medication histories when they are imported into hospitals’ EHRs. The missing instructions add to the risk of medication errors and take time for staff to reconcile during the medication reconciliation process.
– SmartSig 2.0 accurately translates nearly 93% of incoming prescription information, saving up to 30 seconds of work for each drug entered during the medication reconciliation process.
