Standard Register (NYSE: SR), a leading provider of document and
workflow automation services to healthcare organizations, and
SureScripts-RxHub, the newly consolidated health information
network, have formalized an agreement that will lay the groundwork
for the development of innovative clinical solutions for managing
patient medications. �With SureScripts-RxHub�s comprehensive health
information network and our technology, we have the opportunity to
create clinical solutions that will have a measurable impact on
reducing adverse drug events and improve the quality of patient
care,� said Standard Register�s acting chief executive officer, Joe
Morgan. �Clinician workflow is a key consideration to the
medication reconciliation process,� said SureScripts-RxHub�s vice
president of Clinical Affairs and Product Strategy, Ken Majkowski.
�With Standard Register�s experience in healthcare document and
workflow automation, clinicians can make sure that medication
history is delivered to the right place at the right time.�
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, over
770,000 people are injured or die each year in hospitals from
adverse drug events. Moreover, a study released by the Brigham and
Women�s Hospital and published in the Journal of General Internal
Medicine (September 2008) states that 72 percent of potentially
harmful medication discrepancies are due to errors in taking
patients� medication histories. Today, there is no consistent
process for collecting patient medication histories. Standard
Register estimates 13 percent of hospitals use a computerized
system for medication reconciliation, 50 percent are strictly
paper-based while the remaining 37 percent follow a hybrid
approach. Standard Register is developing a standardized approach
that will create a more accurate patient medication history and
streamline the medication reconciliation process. SR�s suite of
solutions will provide a firmer foundation for medication
administration and support hospitals in complying with the Joint
Commission�s National Patient Safety Goal for medication
reconciliation. �Having complete, reliable and confidential
medication histories for patients are fundamental to quality care,�
Morgan observed. �By collaborating with SureScript-RxHub and
applying our experience in improving workflow and automating
paper-based processes, I believe we can make an important
contribution to patient care.� About SureScripts-RxHub
