Pharmacy First partners with PrescribeWellness on patient engagement solutions

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. — Pharmacy First, an independent network of community pharmacies, on Tuesday announced their partnership with PrescribeWellness, a company with a cloud-based platform that delivers efficient patient communications and other related services to community pharmacists.

 

The technology of PrescribeWellness brings a unique array of patient engagement solutions to the community pharmacist. This data provides the information and tools for each pharmacy to impact their individual pharmacy Star Ratings.

 

“Healthcare is at a crossroads, and pharmacists are being forced to confront upheavals in their traditional role within the industry,” stated Robert Dickey, CEO Pharmacy First. “Quality networks, outcomes and prevention within a patient centric care model are what all stakeholders in the industry need to focus on. In the coming year, Star Ratings will be an important measurement affecting all pharmacies, and the partnership with PrescribeWellness will provide our independent pharmacies a powerful tool to manage these metrics. It is our goal to assist our pharmacies in improving and retaining the highest level of service, and through our partnership with PrescribeWellness we will be able to achieve this goal.”

 

PrescribeWellness’ software and services are designed to elevate the pharmacist’s role in preventive healthcare services. This allows delivery of more efficient provider services with programs that make it easier for pharmacies to utilize appointment based medication models to lead their patients to improved medication adherence and more effectively manage chronic disease.

 

“The American healthcare system is shifting its focus from sickness to prevention,” commented Al Babbington, president PrescribeWellness, “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.”
