Most EHR systems are connected to various data intermediaries and State Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP) to retrieve and display medication histories from retail pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and other enterprise locations. When combined with the internal EHR patient medication history, these external medication history datasets can provide powerful clinical decision support to prescribers.

So why aren’t providers routinely reviewing their patients' medication histories prior to prescribing?

Providers must access multiple EHR screens to review medication history from different data sources thereby severely compromising its usability;
Available raw medication history data feeds provided by network intermediaries are not reconciled, frequently contain multiple duplicate records, and often run to multiple pages which discourages use;
Most EHR systems offer varied and rich repositories of medication data which requires providers and/or their staff to manually reconcile data – a laborious and time-consuming task that often does not get done, and;
Available raw data are not analyzed and summarized to provide meaningful and actionable clinical insights which leads to missed opportunities and suboptimal patient outcomes
