Medication Safety and Preventable Adverse Drug Events

Adverse drug events remain a significant source of preventable harm and cost within Medicare populations. Accurate medication reconciliation depends on complete visibility into prescription history across providers and pharmacies.

Fragmented systems prevent clinicians from seeing therapy changes, discontinued medications, or overlapping prescriptions.

Blue Button 2.0 and CMS Patient Access APIs enable the retrieval of claims data that includes prescription information. This digital access supports safer prescribing practices.

Reducing medication errors aligns with CMS value-based care priorities, where preventable complications and readmissions directly affect reimbursement and shared savings outcomes.

The Health Access Card® ensures portable, secure access to longitudinal medication history, strengthening reconciliation processes across care settings.
