Athenahealth will use DrFirst’s RxInform system to send messages to patients’ mobile phones when a clinician sends an order to a pharmacy. These messages may contain cost-saving information or details regarding the prescription, according to the Aug. 2 press release.

“Primary care providers and specialists who care for high-risk patients need tools to help people take their medications as prescribed,” said G. Cameron Deemer, president of DrFirst. “We’re pleased to partner with Athenahealth to give its network of approximately 145,000 providers access to the RxInform platform so they can help patients overcome the common hurdles that lead them to abandon their medications at the pharmacy.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
