Design Clinicals to Double Revenue, Sites in 2009

MedsTracker® Enterprise Medication Reconciliation helps position hospitals for meaningful use and ARRA funding

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 13, 2009 -- Design Clinicals, a Seattle-based medical-software company, is on track to double revenue and product sites for fiscal year 2009, as hospitals select MedsTracker™ Enterprise Medication Reconciliation to meet Joint Commission medication reconciliation requirements, and in the process, satisfy several criteria to demonstrate meaningful use and secure ARRA incentive payments. MedsTracker is now live or being implemented at 18 sites throughout the U.S., from Seattle to New Jersey and south to Miami Beach, seamlessly integrated with 15 separate healthcare information technology systems.

MedsTracker clears the highest hurdle to demonstrating meaningful use: physician adoption. Successfully designed by physicians to think like a physician and intuitively support clinician workflow, MedsTracker clients report over 90 percent physician compliance. It is enterprise-ready and user-friendly, accessible for all clinicians involved in the medication reconciliation process: physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Able to integrate with any existing hospital or clinic IT system, MedsTracker is a ready component in the future of open systems and regional information networks.

How MedsTracker Works

MedsTracker offers robust functionality, with comprehensive patient safety modules that already support many of the expected criteria for meaningful use. The software captures a detailed medication history—and can access retail pharmacy prescription history—to ensure the most accurate, comprehensive medication record for each patient. MedsTracker provides electronically generated safety checks and alerts for potential allergy or drug-drug interactions with any change in medication regimen. It can automatically fax or ePrescribe a prescription to a patient’s pharmacy of choice, and eliminates errors due to illegible handwriting. It helps ensure the highest standards of patient medication safety while enhancing patient education. At every clinic or hospital visit, patients receive printed lists and explanations of their medications in patient lay language, improving communication, understanding and compliance.
