Leading the Way in Healthcare Innovation Across the Medication Journey
SAN ANTONIO, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DrFirst, a leading innovator in healthcare technology, has been honored with the prestigious Enabling Technology Leadership Award by Frost & Sullivan. This recognition highlights how the outstanding contributions of DrFirst bridge critical gaps in healthcare through groundbreaking technology solutions. With its comprehensive platform, DrFirst optimizes the medication journey from prescribing to adherence, with integrated solutions that directly address critical challenges in prescription management and orchestration; medication access, affordability, and adherence; and clinical data accuracy.
The U.S. healthcare market has long struggled with entrenched resistance to change, resulting in isolated healthcare information systems that hinder collaboration. Limited interoperability has led to inefficiencies, medication errors, and unnecessary hospital readmissions. In response to these challenges, DrFirst has developed a holistic, technology-driven approach that empowers healthcare professionals and patients with real-time access to accurate patient information, enhancing decision-making and improving outcomes.
DrFirst has pioneered innovative solutions that integrate with electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchanges (HIEs), and pharmacy systems, simplifying workflows and transforming how providers, pharmacists, and other stakeholders collaborate for high-quality patient care.
Key achievements that contributed to this award include:
- Prescription Orchestration Technology — The company’s latest innovation reinvents how ePrescriptions are shared between providers, pharmacies, and payers, enabling clinical collaboration and custom workflows that speed access to specialty medications.
- AI-Powered Solutions — Using artificial intelligence and real-time data sharing, DrFirst innovations minimize prescription errors and boost clinical workflow efficiency.
- Patient Engagement and Adherence — DrFirst digital tools empower patients with cost-saving and educational resources, prescription price transparency, and access to patient support, lowering prescription abandonment.
- Medication Reconciliation Excellence — The company improves the accuracy of medication history, significantly reducing adverse drug events and hospital readmissions.
“Innovation is not just about technology—it’s about empowering people,” said G. Cameron Deemer, DrFirst CEO. “This recognition from Frost & Sullivan underscores our culture of innovation and commitment to eliminating friction in medication management for all stakeholders in healthcare, ultimately achieving better medication outcomes for everyone.”
