Tabula Rasa HealthCare launches MedWise to prevent adverse drug events

Tabula Rasa HealthCare today launched MedWise on its PrescribeWellness platform for pharmacists to cumulatively compare how different medications interact with each other. The company, which focuses on improving medication safety, developed this service to allow pharmacists to see how medications will work together on a larger scale than one to one. By doing this, Tabula Rasa says adverse drug events can be reduced. Included with the software is a MedWise Risk Score calculation and MedWise Decision Support. The decision support tool will change the risk score in real time so pharmacists can assess complex medication regimens' safety. Adverse drug events (ADE) cause approximately 1.3 million emergency department visits each year, according to the CDC.
