Forbes – “Technology, Education Focused On Keeping Seniors Safe During Medication Safety Week”

An article in Forbes highlights PipelineRx’s discharge counseling program and how technology plays a role in keeping seniors safe in honor of 2017’s Medication Safety Week.

PipelineRx’s Medication Reconciliation and Discharge Counseling services allow a remote pharmacist to review a patient’s discharge order and go over new medications with the patient via video connection.This service is utilized to prevent seniors from returning to hospitals once they’ve been discharged due to adverse drug events, an occurrence that is four times more likely in seniors than other patient groups.
