ePrescribe

Did you know that physicians can electronically prescribe medications in Meditech? ePrescribe allows providers to leave their script pads at the office by giving them tools to transmit medications (controlled substances too!) directly to patients’ pharmacies. It also provides real-time insurance eligibility and formulary checking beneficial to providers and patients alike.

Interested? Email or call our Director of Clinical Informatics, Abigail Murray, for ePrescribe access and training.

INSPIRE Trial

The INSPIRE trial aims to assess best practice in antibiotic stewardship for patients admitted for pneumonia and UTI: it utilizes “smart” Meditech screens to optimize antibiotic prescribing and contribute to improved patient outcomes.

*What does that mean to clinicians?* Beginning this month, providers may notice screen prompts that give risk estimates of antibiotic resistant infections and in turn, recommend standard spectrum antibiotics.

Interested in more information? Dave Calley is WVMC’s Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee leader and can be reached via email.
