ScriptSwitch® Prescribing

Clinical Decision Support

Optum® UK uses advanced analytics, digital products and advisory services to help make health and care systems work better for everyone.

Our medicines optimisation portfolio of solutions and our people, enable us to build sustainable and rewarding relationships with our customers. We support our customers to find new ways of working that drive sustainability at System level and provide control at a local level to deliver person-centred care, with the ultimate aim to reduce the need for intervention.

ScriptSwitch Prescribing is a proven, clinically led solution that supports prescribing decisions so it’s right for the patient, first time.

• With patient record integration, it evaluates the medical record before offering switches
• Integrated with evidenced-based clinical rules addressing safety, dose and waste
• Surfacing appropriate targeted messages, enabling GPs and prescribers to spend more time with patients

The tool encompasses four integrated themes to continuously improve the effectiveness, safety and value of prescribing. We provide simple, easy-to-action recommendations to prescribers.

Safety - Safety alerts both upon opening patient record and at point of prescribing – creating more opportunities for clinicians to reduce risks of hospital admissions and adverse effects and harm caused by medicines.
Simplicity - Maximising prescriber engagement and adoption rates through a simple one-click prescriber interface, alongside flexible Proactive Profile Support for your Medicines Optimisation team – lowering workload whilst enabling full localisation and achieving the best of both.
Savings - Innovative, unique functionality to unlock new sources of sustainable prescribing savings, and the only system to tackle overprescribing by lowering total cost of prescribing (reducing price and volume).
Control- Best-in-class speed and efficiency of managing products – with national pre-authored content and local control to edit recommendations instantly and deploy within 1 hour – without the need to come to us and wait for localisation requests to be made.
