We are thrilled to be part of the 2024 KLAS Research Points of Light recognition! Our collaboration with Hyphen and Healthfirst to develop the Pharmacy Assistant application showcases the power of partnership in enhancing medication adherence, increasing health plan understanding, and rewarding independent pharmacists for their vital role.
The Power of Partnership
The Pharmacy Assistant application is a testament to what can be achieved through strong partnerships. By working closely with Hyphen and Healthfirst, we have developed a tool that not only supports pharmacists but also empowers patients. This collaboration is a shining example of how value-based care can lead to better health outcomes and more efficient healthcare systems.
Enhancing Medication Adherence
One of the primary goals of the Pharmacy Assistant application is to improve medication adherence among patients. By providing pharmacists with the tools they need to effectively manage and monitor medication regimens, we can ensure that patients are taking their medications as prescribed. This leads to better health outcomes and reduces the risk of complications related to non-adherence.
Hyphen developed the Pharmacy Assistant application through a partnership with the Healthfirst Pharmacy Services team and PrimeRx and PrimePOS software, used by more than 40% of independent pharmacists in the New York City area, are utilized in 72% of interactions between community pharmacies and Healthfirst’s Medicare members.
Increasing Health Plan Understanding
Understanding health plan benefits can be challenging for many patients. The Pharmacy Assistant application helps bridge this gap by providing clear and accessible information about health plan benefits. This increased understanding enables patients to make more informed decisions about their healthcare, leading to better utilization of available resources.
Rewarding Independent Pharmacists
Independent pharmacists play a crucial role in the healthcare system, and it’s important that their contributions are recognized and rewarded. The Pharmacy Assistant application includes mechanisms to compensate pharmacists for their efforts in improving medication adherence and patient education. This not only acknowledges their hard work but also incentivizes continued excellence in patient care.
