AI-Powered Tool Boosts Doctors' Speed and Efficiency for Prescription Renewals

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 30, 2024 -- Healthcare pioneer DrFirst today announced that its SmartRenewal solution, powered by AI, earned high ratings from customers in KLAS Research's First Look report, including three grades of "A+" and one "A" for key performance indicators. Based on feedback from initial users, the report highlights hospitals' and health systems' positive experiences with how the tool streamlines and improves the prescription renewal process, benefiting both healthcare providers and patients.

Renewing prescriptions is typically time-consuming for physicians, often leading to delays and potential keyboard errors. SmartRenewal addresses these issues with patented AI and machine learning, integrating with electronic health record (EHR) systems as part of the Fuzion by DrFirst medication management platform. The solution automates the transcription of medication instructions (known as "sigs") into the terminology used by health systems, significantly reducing manual clicks and keystrokes that can lead to medication errors and contribute to provider burnout.

KLAS, a leading healthcare IT research firm, provides transparent and impartial insights. Its First Look report reveals an unbiased view of customers' experiences with how SmartRenewal streamlines the prescription renewal process.

KLAS interviewed customers using the solution within their Epic EHR and found that 100% say they are highly satisfied, achieved outcomes immediately, and would buy the solution again. Additionally, 100% of respondents said SmartRenewal saved clinicians and IT staff time by automating processes.

Based on customers' experiences, KLAS awarded high marks to key performance indicators, including:
  •  Supports integration goals: A+
  •  Likely to recommend: A+
  •  Executive involvement: A+
  •  Product has needed functionality: A

Customers concluded that SmartRenewal is easy to use in the provider workflow and provides immediate time savings.

"Entering prescription information by hand is not only tedious and inefficient but can introduce dangerous keyboard errors," said G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst. "This technology eliminates the need for manual data entry, making the prescription renewal process faster for healthcare providers and safer for patients, ensuring that needed medications reach patients more quickly."

SmartRenewal has won several industry awards for innovation, including Gold in the prestigious Edison Awards. Its clinical-grade AI is trained on medication data from the 240 million e-prescriptions written annually within the DrFirst network.
