PrescribeWellness and Value Drug Company Partnership Will Drive Medication Adherence
Aliso Viejo, CA, June 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- PrescribeWellness Partners with Value Drug Company to Help Lead Higher Medication Adherence Through Proactive and Preventive Healthcare Measures
PrescribeWellness, an industry leader in medication adherence solutions for community pharmacy, today announced its partnership with Value Drug Company.
“This partnership provides independent pharmacies with the software and automation services they need to compete with chain and big box retailers by making considerable advancements toward patient adherence,” said Al Babbington, PrescribeWellness President and CEO.
PrescribeWellness is an SaaS Company with a cloud-based platform designed to empower pharmacies and other healthcare professionals to provide more effective, preventive healthcare services.
PrescribeWellness’ software and services are designed to make it easier for retail pharmacies to help their patients improve medication adherence and more effectively manage chronic disease, positively impacting customer health as well as taking active steps in reducing overall costs across the nation. Lack of medication adherence costs the American healthcare system an estimated $300 billion annually.
“The American healthcare system is shifting its focus from sickness to prevention,” explained Babbington, “so it is critical for independent pharmacies to build patient relationships focused on medication adherence and chronic disease management. PrescribeWellness provides the tools for this.”
Value Drug Company pharmacies will benefit from a host of PrescribeWellness’ services to address all obstacles to adherence with its trusted “Voice of Authority,” the channel-focused communications platform using the voice of the pharmacist to drive patient behavior. These communications may be pick up reminders or a call on their birthday with options for enrollment into a prescription synchronization (med sync) program so patients on multiple meds can synchronize the refill dates and make fewer trips to the pharmacy.
Pharmacists will also enjoy noticeable growth from the efficiencies that come with the implementation of these practices. A small shift in patient behavior can make a significant difference to a pharmacy’s bottom line.
"PrescribeWellness has helped me tackle the obstacles of adherence, loyalty, and Star Ratings without any interruption to current workflow or the need for additional employees,” said Martin .J Kendra, R.PH. “What’s even better is my patients are responding with noticeably improved behaviors to their MTM, including refills. And, I have to give kudos the PrescribeWellness software, which integrated perfectly with my operating systems.”
