Rexall fires up med sync program

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - Rexall is now offering patients a new service, OneStopMeds, powered by Ateb Canada's Time My Meds, delivered by pharmacists that will improve medication adherence, compliance and health outcomes of patients taking multiple chronic medications.  

 

Rexall is the first retail pharmacy in Canada to offer this service to patients in multiple provinces. 

 

"Rexall and our pharmacists are leading the way when it comes to delivering patient focused services and the launch of OneStopMeds is another important step towards improving the health and wellness of Canadians," stated Jürgen Schreiber, president and CEO of Rexall Health.

 

Through a partnership with Ateb Canada, the leading provider of pharmacy-based patient care solutions, Rexall pharmacies can implement a technology-driven medication synchronization program that enables pharmacists to effectively and proactively assist their patients to achieve healthier outcomes in an affordable manner. The adoption of Ateb's medication synchronization program, Time My Meds, in other community pharmacies yields substantial improvement in patient adherence as demonstrated in a study by the National Community Pharmacists Association.

 

"Through the collaboration of two market leaders, we can harness our strengths to demonstrate how technology can improve patient health outcomes and make a significant impact on the Canadian healthcare landscape," said Frank Sheppard, president and CEO of Ateb. 

 

"OneStopMeds expands the ability of Rexall pharmacists' to more closely focus on managing a patient's overall health rather than just their individual prescriptions. It is also another tool that enables patients to be even more engaged in managing their own health," Schreiber added.
