SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As healthcare organizations continue to
navigate fragmented medication workflows, rising administrative complexity, and 
growing demands for faster patient access, [DrFirst](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4752820-1&h=1389258353&u=https%3A%2F%2Fdrfirst.com%2F&a=DrFirst)
is transforming how prescriptions move from creation to fulfillment. The company
is honored for its AI-enhanced medication orchestration platform with [Frost & Sullivan’s](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4752820-1&h=1801480618&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.frost.com%2F&a=Frost+%26+Sullivan%27s)
2026 North America Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition in Intelligent Medication
Management, citing a new model of prescribing architecture that unites clinical 
insight, operational efficiency, and patient-centered care.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across
two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. DrFirst excelled
in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with evolving 
healthcare demands while executing innovations that deliver measurable improvements
across clinical workflows. "DrFirst has advanced beyond its traditional role as 
a workflow enabler to emerge as a leader in AI-enhanced medication orchestration,
fundamentally redefining how prescription orders are created and executed across
the care continuum," said Sagar Mukhekar, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on digital innovation, clinical intelligence,
and stakeholder collaboration, DrFirst has evolved from a prescription workflow 
enabler into a comprehensive medication orchestration platform. By bringing real-
time clinical, operational, and business context directly within prescribing workflows,
the company helps providers make better-informed decisions while reducing administrative
burden, speeding therapy initiation, and improving patient access to medications.
A defining example is the concept of the "fully optimized prescription," which arrives
at the pharmacy ready to fill, with potential roadblocks resolved.

Innovation remains central to DrFirst’s approach. The company’s platform delivers
actionable decision support throughout the prescribing process, helping providers
resolve barriers before a prescription reaches the pharmacy. By addressing challenges
such as prior authorization, coverage requirements, and pharmacy-specific considerations,
fewer surprises happen downstream and patients start therapy sooner.

"Our investment in AI and agentic automation means we can surface the options available
for each specific patient, resolve coverage and pharmacy roadblocks before the prescription
is sent, and give the care team a path forward rather than another alert," said 
Laizer Kornwasser, CEO of DrFirst. "This recognition from Frost & Sullivan affirms
that intelligence belongs in the workflow, not alongside it."

DrFirst’s commitment to customer experience further positions it as a leader in 
medication management. By connecting providers, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers(
PBMs), and patients through a unified platform, the company simplifies complex workflows
and improves coordination across the healthcare continuum. Its prescription engagement
solution also helps strengthen provider-patient relationships, delivering personalized
medication information that improves adherence and health outcomes.

Frost & Sullivan commends DrFirst for setting a high standard in competitive strategy,
execution, and market responsiveness. Its sustained investment in AI, extensive 
industry experience, and deep stakeholder relationships are shaping the future of
medication management. Through its scalable platform, DrFirst is helping healthcare
organizations reduce friction, improve provider productivity, and deliver more effective
patient care.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Enabling Technology Leadership Recognition
to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation,
resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and
competitive positioning. The recognition highlights forward-thinking organizations
that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.
