Overview

Improve data accuracy & prescriber/ pharmacist collaboration

The prescribing process can be complex. Workflow interruptions, inefficient communications and unclear prescribing instructions burden prescribers and pharmacists. They can even put patients at risk.

But when clinicians can access trusted patient and prescription data via a network designed for seamless collaboration at scale, prescribing becomes truly intelligent. Care teams can work more efficiently to deliver the best prescription for each patient. Patient safety, medication adherence and outcomes improve.
