Annual Award Honors Healthcare Organizations Using Technology in Innovative Ways to Optimize Medication Management and Improve Patient Care

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 21, 2024 -- Health technology pioneer DrFirst today announced the winners of its 2024 Healthiverse Heroes Award program. Now in its fourth year, the award honors healthcare organizations for the innovative use of technology to enhance clinicians' medication management workflows and improve patient outcomes.

"Healthcare is fundamentally a team sport," said G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst. "With the Healthiverse Heroes Award, we recognize those at the forefront of integrating advanced technology to make clinical workflows seamless and reduce clinician workload. By celebrating the collaboration between technology vendors and healthcare providers, we recognize their success in steering the industry toward a more efficient, safe, and patient-centered future. In the end, patients are the real winners."

The award is an extension of DrFirst's efforts to Unite the Healthiverse, a term the company coined to represent its vision for connecting healthcare stakeholders with the information they need when they need it.

Winners were selected based on multiple criteria, including forward-looking use of technology and level of impact. Nominees were judged by DrFirst's clinical team, led by its chief medical officer and other experts with backgrounds in medicine and pharmacy.
