MEDICATION management specialist Meditrax has created a technology platform that enables Residential Medication Management Reviews (RMMRs) and Home Medication Reviews (HMRs) to be uploaded directly to My Health Record (MHR), allowing healthcare providers across different settings to access the information as needed.
The new platform includes a dashboard for facilities and consulting pharmacists, enabling faster clinical reviews, visibility across medication advisory committee discussions, and better oversight of care trends.
The development addresses one of healthcare's most persistent challenges - continuity of care - and by enabling the systems to connect, provides what Meditrax CEO Tannya Stevens (pictured) said is the "missing link".
"What we created is the ability to upload medication reviews to My Health Record, which has never before been achieved," Stevens told Pharmacy Daily, adding that "many have tried".
"Transition of care is a huge problem, and medication errors cost the government a significant amount of money.
"The missing link was how to share information on medications people are taking when they have a medication review so it can be accessed by the people who need to see it."
The availability of the platform means that when a resident is transferred to hospital or discharged home, their most recent medication management review will be available on MHR.
"This means fewer delays, fewer medication errors, and no more chasing information," Stevens said.
"It really is significant for patients, families and doctors, as well as the wider healthcare team."
Meditrax has also integrated with Webstercare's Electronic National Residential Medication Chart platform, MedCare, reducing duplication of data and improving the flow of information between clinical pharmacists and facilities.
"Too often, health systems operate in isolation, and medication information gets lost between providers," Stevens said.
"This platform breaks down those silos by connecting teams and making critical information visible when and where it's needed.
"We welcome other technology providers to collaborate with us and help build a truly connected healthcare ecosystem," she added.
The platform will be formally launched in Sep.
In the future, the platform will enable Meditrax to publish annual de-identified benchmarking reports on medication safety and clinical governance, helping providers measure performance and support continuous quality improvement.
"This is about delivering person-centred care with the right tools, at the right time.
"The future of medication governance isn't just digital - it's collaborative, transparent, and built around the needs of people in care," Stevens concluded. KB
