Measures that Prove Value and Results

Our services go well beyond dispensing medication. A preferred approach includes consistent service, continuity of care, and cost-efficiency. In all cases, proven value is shared with stakeholders. The following are some of our top services:

• Medication Adherence measures whether patients are taking their medication at the right time, in the right way, and as the doctor ordered.
• Clinical Measures include lab values that show how the medicine is working. We collect data and track outcomes for specific patients. This helps guide patient care.
• Operational Measures show how long it takes to answer calls, follow up with patients, and process orders. Don’t worry about spending time on hold – we answer our phones in fifteen seconds or less.
• Performance Indicators measure patient satisfaction and support from the patient’s healthcare team
• Quality of Life Measures determine the patient’s overall health standards and goals. Some of these include daily living skills, comfort, and safety.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enhances Outcomes Reporting

Today, the use of AI and machine learning empowers us to gather useful data about performance and economic impact. As healthcare focuses on value-based care, payers and providers benefit from the high-touch approach we offer. Patient follow-up often lends insight and depth of reason for emergency room visits, extended lengths of stay, and hospital readmissions.

AI also allows us to track how patients are doing with their medication. Are they taking their medicine correctly? Are they having any side effects?  And, are there any adverse events that should be addressed or reported?
