Case Study: Sharp HealthCare reduces total cost of care with BDO's AI-enhanced medication management system

Sharp HealthCare reduces readmissions 8.4% with BDO

Sharp HealthCare, a healthcare system serving San Diego County, faced a challenge with complex patients on multiple medications. Reviewing patient records for potential drug interactions was a time-consuming process for pharmacists, which increased the total cost of care and risked patient outcomes. They partnered with vendor BDO to develop an improved medication management process.

BDO implemented an AI-enhanced medication management system that integrated with Sharp's existing platform. This solution automated the review of medication data, allowing pharmacists to identify dangerous drug interactions and obstacles to care in real-time. The results included an 8.4% reduction in hospital readmissions for a schizophrenia patient cohort and an expected total cost of care reduction of 3-6% for targeted patients across the health system.
