In today’s healthcare arena, there is much national attention given to the rate of medication errors and the resulting costs both in terms of human suffering and dollars spent on remedial care and procedures. Hospitals are focusing on internal processes related to patient identification and dosing. In the ambulatory setting, devices are now being implemented to send electronic prescriptions directly to the pharmacy. However, none of these solutions address the issue of empowering the pharmacist with medical and medication history in order to evaluate the efficacy of a drug in light of the patient’s history. Medisyn Systems will provide access to vital patient information, never before available to the pharmacist, to help reduce the risks and costs associated with filling ambulatory prescriptions.

The pharmacist will improve patient safety with the use of Medisyn Systems through:

• Access to a patient’s problem and medication lists to check
  for medical contraindications and possible drug interactions.
  
  
• Verification of pharmacology and dosing prescribed.

Pharmacists will reduce their administrative expenses by:

• Eliminating the need, and subsequent delays, to call the
  clinician for verification.
  
  
• Reducing their professional liability for medication errors.
