Recently, a group of health IT leaders came together to discuss the need for CancelRx and the value it delivers far beyond the seemingly simple cancellation of a prescription. The participants in this podcast were part of a study in partnership with UW Health to evaluate the effectiveness of CancelRx to decrease medication discrepancies.

This podcast is a call to action on the broader healthcare industry to standardize digital processes to help remove admin burden and increase patient safety.

A highlight from the study: The results of UW Health’s system-wide CancelRx implementation were impressive. Before CancelRx, only about 34% of prescriptions that were discontinued in the clinical setting were also cancelled in the pharmacy. After CancelRx went live, the proportion of successful discontinuations jumped drastically to 93%. Additionally, the amount of time it took to discontinue a medication plummeted from approximately 12 hours to virtually no time at all.
