[Rcopia4] DrFirst Personal Medication Record - Text Reminders

DrFirst now allows you to send a text message confirmation to patients after sending a prescription to the pharmacy through DrFirst. This feature integrates seamlessly and automatically without impeding your e-prescribing workflow.

Upon receiving the text message, your patients can choose to visit a secure, HIPAA compliant site to:

  • Review their new prescriptions
  • Confirm pharmacy details
  • Check drug prices
  • Update their medication list
  • Set medication reminders
