PGXperts PRiM is a digital medication management system that supports healthcare professionals in reviewing complex medication scenarios in order to increase drug therapy safety.
Increasing demands on quality and efficiency require innovative solutions, seamless integration into the existing IT infrastructure and direct connection to the telematics infrastructure. Equally important is eligibility for KHZG (Hospital Future Act) funding to ensure cost effective implementation.
Personalised
Always in control of complex medication scenarios
Patient safety is the top priority when prescribing medication, as side effects or treatment failure can have serious consequences. Pharmacogenetics is a new factor to be considered. Every person metabolizes particular drugs differently, which is why the effect of medications depends on individual genetic makeup. In addition, individual risk factors such as genetics, allergies, laboratory values as well as dosage, interactions and drug interactions must be taken into account, especially in multimorbid patients.
Efficient
An optimized medication process benefits everyone
PGXperts PRiM offers efficient medication management over the entire care pathway using a digital drug therapy safety pathway to ensure the best possible patient care. The intuitive handling guides users safely through the entire process. Avoiding medication risks not only increases patient well-being, but also avoids potential follow-up costs and reduces the workload of medical staff.
Interoperabel
Seamless integration into your IT infrastructure
As a web-based application, PGXperts PRiM guarantees efficient integration into your IT infrastructure by supporting the HL7 and FHIR standards. The connection to the telematic infrastructure enables access to the electronic patient record (ePA) and the generation of the electronic medication plan (eMP) and e-prescription.
We are eligible for KHZG-subsidies
PGXperts PRiM is seamlessly integrated with the VMobil electronic patient record from ADVANOVA GmbH Together with a KIS, PGXperts PRiM fulfils the requirements of KHZG funding category 5: Digital medication management

Case study – polypharmacy patient*
Mrs Elisabeth Schmidt (74) is hospitalized due to severe pneumonia. She reports an ulcer in her mouth and an unexplained haematoma on her lower leg. In addition to rheumatoid arthritis, she suffers from high blood pressure and her uric acid levels are elevated.
Drug medication history
Hospital medication
She advises Mrs Schmidt to avoid milk while taking Azathioprine and to avoid eating grapefruit and liquorice.
Drug interaction
Pharmacogenetic effect
Extended risk factor
Discharge medication
1) Drug medication history
Dr Müller records the patient´s drug medication history She records the current medication by scanning the patients medication plan. All the information it contains is transferred automatically into PGXperts PRiM.
2) Hospital medication
Dr Müller changes the medication to the hospital formulary, which is stored in PGXperts PRiM. Ramipril is replaced by Enalapril. She advises Mrs Schmidt to avoid milk while taking Azathioprine and to avoid eating grapefruit and liquorice. She prescribes the antibiotic Ampicillin/Sulbactam i.v. to treat the pneumonia.
Dr Müller checks the medication for drug therapy safety pathway risks with PGXperts PRiM. She discovers a serious interaction between Azathioprine and Allopurinol, which can lead to increased liver values and blood disorders. There is also a risk of severe skin reactions due to a potential pharmacogenetic effect. For this reason, she switches Allopurinol to Benzbromarone 20mg daily, slowly increasing to 100mg.
4) Pharmacogenetic effect
Dr Müller is informed that the FDA recommends genetic testing before administering the high-risk drug Azathioprine due to its Myelotoxicity. She then orders genotyping, the results of which show reduced TPMT activity. As a result Dr Müller reduces the dose.
5) Extended risk factor
PRiM accesses historical and current treatment data. Dr Müller switches from Bisoprolol to Nebivolol in the hospital medication due to a previous severe pollen allergy in order to minimise the risk of a severe allergic reaction.
6) Discharge medication
Mrs Schmidt recovers from the pneumonia within a few days and is discharged from hospital. Dr Müller expects that by reducing the dose of Azathioprine, the mouth ulcer and haematoma will subside in the near future. The discharge medication is created in PGXperts PRiM and automatically transferred to the doctor’s discharge summary letter. Dr Müller creates a new electronic prescription and an eMP.
