MEDS AI'S MedsToBeds enhances patient convenience by delivering prescriptions prior to hospital discharge, alleviating stress for both patients and their caregivers. This service guarantees patients leave with essential medications, reduces nurses' workload by keeping them on the unit, and supports providers in maintaining seamless continuity of care.
Enhanced Medication Adherence and Safety: By providing medications before discharge, the program addresses the 20-30% of patients who typically fail to fill prescriptions post-discharge, thereby minimizing risks of complications and hospital readmissions.
Exceptional Convenience :Eliminates the need for patients or family members to visit a pharmacy after discharge, which is particularly advantageous for those with limited mobility or transportation challenges.
Pharmacist Counseling: Patients receive private, individualized consultations in their hospital rooms, where pharmacists review medications, dosages, and possible side effects, offering an opportunity for patients and caregivers to ask questions directly.
Lower Readmission Rates: Ensuring patients depart with necessary medications reduces the likelihood of complications, helping hospitals avoid penalties and decreasing overall patient costs.
Efficient Insurance and Cost Management: On-site pharmacists collaborate with insurers and physicians to resolve coverage or prior authorization issues and can recommend cost-effective alternatives if medications are unaffordable before discharge.
Reduced Patient Stress: Patients can concentrate on their recovery with confidence, knowing their medication needs are fully addressed before leaving the hospital.
A total of 1,908 antibiotics were prescribed over 28-months. On-site pharmacy prescriptions increased from 15% to 46% after pharmacy capabilities increased, then to 86% after MTB program launch, optimized workflow, and initiation of EHR messaging. Bedside medication delivery increased from 0% to 58% with these interventions. Family satisfaction with discharge medication education and frequency of discharge medication–related safety reports was not significantly different pre- and postintervention. DBN varied throughout the study.
