One in five Americans has experienced a medication error while receiving healthcare. This staggering statistic paints a stark picture of a hidden crisis within our healthcare system. RXNT, a provider of healthcare software solutions, is advancing e-prescribing technology to help minimize human error and support improved patient care.
Through exclusive insights from COO Jessica Wagner, we explore how RXNT’s advanced e-prescribing platform is revolutionizing medication management, which has bolstered security, and continuously set new standards of compliance.
Addressing Medication Errors with Technology
The shift from handwritten scripts to digital platforms has helped reduce errors often caused by illegible handwriting or manual data entry. “Our e-prescribing technology at RXNT is designed to help minimize human error through features like automatic drug interaction checks and electronic prior authorization,” explains Jessica. “Our platform is designed to support industry SCRIPT standards, helping to streamline the process of sending medications to pharmacies and improving prescription fulfillment.”
Wagner highlights the role of user-friendly technology in helping minimize errors, demonstrating how e-prescribing may reduce the risk of mishaps. In addition to automated checks for drug interactions, the electronic prior authorization process expedites approvals from insurers. This cuts down on delays that could negatively impact patient outcomes.
Enhancing Patient Safety Through E-Prescribing
E-prescribing has become an integral part of modern medication therapy. One feature of RXNT’s system is its ability to access real-time medication histories, providing providers with information that can help identify potential interactions or contraindications.
“Our system also flags contraindications based on patient records. Additionally, by supporting electronic prior authorizations, we help patients receive necessary medications without delay,” says Wagner. “Additionally, our integration with Prescription Monitoring Programs (PMP) and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP) helps track controlled substance prescriptions and support appropriate use,” she confidently adds.
This access to a patient’s prescribing history supports better clinical decisions and helps ensure continuity of care. When providers know a patient’s complete medication profile, they can avoid dangerous duplicates or combinations that might compromise patient safety. This can help patients receive medications more quickly, potentially supporting better adherence and overall health.
Building Trust Through Security and Compliance
Healthcare data is among the most sensitive types of personal information, therefore making security and compliance non-negotiable for any modern technology solution. RXNT’s system employs stringent measures to protect sensitive patient information to maintain trust among providers and patients alike.
“Security is a top priority at RXNT. Our platform uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect sensitive patient data, aligning with industry best practices. RXNT conducts regular audits to ensure compliance with DEA requirements for controlled substances,” Wagner proudly shares. “We implement secure transmission protocols and maintain a robust audit trail to uphold compliance. Our commitment to security means providers and patients can trust our system for safe, reliable e-prescribing.”
Beyond the Paper Pad
E-prescribing is shaping patient care and healthcare delivery, though it also presents new opportunities and challenges. Jessica Wagner envisions a changing landscape where technology helps streamline clinical workflows, improve patient access to medication, and address risks.
Yet, as the healthcare industry accelerates its adoption of new technologies, institutions and providers may find challenges in budgeting, interoperability, and staff training. RXNT is actively addressing these hurdles by offering user-friendly platforms that integrate with existing systems, supporting providers with responsive customer service, and adhering to industry-wide standards. These proactive steps help ensure that as e-prescribing and related technologies advance, both providers and patients are well-equipped to reap the benefits.
The RXNT Approach
RXNT understands that beneath the data points and compliance protocols lies something deeply human—a patient’s worry, a provider’s responsibility. Their dedication goes beyond features and functions. They aim to build a shield against error in a system where mistakes can have devastating consequences.
Fueled by smart technology and fortified by security, they are actively creating a present where the fear of medication error begins to recede. Jessica Wagner’s insights reveal e-prescribing as an act of profound care. As RXNT continues to evolve, its focus remains on fostering confidence, security, and reliable care for patients with each prescription.
