The app, which will soon be available, automates the delivery of FDA-approved drug information and reminders sent to patients via the EHR patient portal. Because the app is automatically triggered by e-prescribing, it is fully integrated into workflow. PDR+ is designed to improve drug safety and enhance patient compliance, thereby improving both fill rates and adherence. The PDR+ service for EHRs includes PDR-branded drug education programs for more than 2,000 of the most commonly prescribed drugs. In early 2014, PDR+ will also provide associated disease-specific information that will accompany drug information.
The iHealth Alliance, an independent not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and protect the interests of patients and providers as healthcare increasingly adopts electronic systems in patient care, oversees the PDR Drug Alert Network and other safety-related services hosted by PDRNetwork. As part of its mission, the iHealth Alliance is supporting PDR+.
