MedAware medication risk monitoring within Epic
Ballad pharmacists acted on over 70% of medication risks surfaced by MedAware
Problem
Pharmacists needed to identify changing medication risks during hospital stays and prioritize patients for review.
Approach
Ballad embedded MedAware's monitoring system into its Epic pharmacy workflow after a partnership announced in 2023. Machine learning combined with clinical and statistical review identified patient-specific risks. Acute-care pharmacists used the alerts to assess medication changes or continued monitoring.
Results
Takeaway
The reported action rate measured pharmacists' response to surfaced risks. It did not establish how many adverse drug events were prevented.
