Historical Hole in Healthcare

​​
There has been a need for providers to better know what medications patients are taking (and how much they are taking) to avoid drug-drug interactions.  

There are 180,000 deaths in the US each year due to Adverse Drug Events (ADE's), ​which is the second most common reason for lawsuits against physicians in the US, Austrailia, France, and Canada (LifeScience, July, 2013).
In a study from Vanderbilt Health system in TN, they found that:
        •       43% of Patients do NOT have at least one Prescribed Medication in their blood​​
        •       22% of Medications listed in Medical Records are Incorrect
        •       49% of Patients are Out-of-Range on at least one Medication
 ​
There are new regulations in place with MACRA that mandate that providers must reconcile medications (this means all medications prescribed to the patient from all providers that have prescribed a medication to the patient – not just prescriptions written by one provider) in any transition of care (a new patient, hospital admission, etc.) – but how?

Medication in their Blood

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
The "Brown Bag" Approach

Historically, providers ask patients what they are taking.  Medicare refers to this as the “brown bag” approach (patients bring their medications in a brown bag to the provider or hospital admission nurse to review).   Even if a provider can accurately surmise what medications a patient has, how does the provider know how much of the medication is in the patient’s system?​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ New Technology

MedRx is a laboratory developed fingerstick blood test that provides objective data for medication reconciliation on a specialized mass spectrometry platform for over 300 medications! This covers 90% of the commonly prescribed medications. Now, a provider (physician, hospital, home health agency, etc.) can KNOW what medications the patient is taking and how much of the medication is in their system!  ​​​​​​​​​

Simple Use​​

​With a few drops of blood on a FDA approved class 1 microsampling collection device, the provider can take out the expensive and risky guesswork of reconciling medication with patients. No phlebotomist is needed.  Just one simple fingerstick (4 drops of 20uL).

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Advantages

  • Patient Safety - Improve patient care and reduce drug-drug interactions
  • Reduced Liability - Avoid lawsuits from preventable ADE's 
  • Save Time - A simple finger stick and receive a 16-page report
  • Increase practice income - MACRA compliance

The MedRx Lab Report Will Show the Following:

​​​​​​​​​​​​ Comprehensive Test Menu: The current Med Rec panel test covers 22 Drug Classes which include 272 Prescription Drug Assays, plus 30 illicit drugs, and most common OTC’s.

Actual Quantitative Results: Know exactly how much of the tested drug metabolite is in your patient, not just what is present.

Half-life Information: Every report has a dedicated area showing the specific half-life of each unique drug metabolite tested.

Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) Report: You will know what drugs have Minor, Major, and/or Serious Interactions from the drugs using the most common software system in hospitals for drug to drug interaction in the United States.


​
Disclaimer: MedRx medication reconciliation test utilizes the Mitra Collection device (Patent No's 20180161018, 20170128934, 20170071520)
