Medication and allergy reconciliation saves time, money – and lives.
From pre-admission to post-discharge, hospital patients are constantly in transition - and so are their medications. Information changes constantly and rapidly, leading to medication errors, physician confusion and wasted resources. Keeping patients and medications in sync saves lives, time and money.
Fusionfx Medication & Allergy Reconciliation provides real-time views and updates of patient medication lists, builds pre-admission patient medication lists and reconciles medications/allergies at admission, discharge and transfer. Fusionfx Medication & Allergy Reconciliation aggregates medication/allergy history from all available sources including EMR systems, healthcare information exchanges (HIEs), retail pharmacies and outpatient dispensing records, providing the most accurate possible medication profile to help physicians make correct clinical decisions. Additionally, management reports for department heads and executive staff help drive best practices.
