Margie E. Snyder from Purdue University College of Pharmacy will join an upcoming AHRQ webinar, which will share research findings on how best to use Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) for patients with varying health conditions and how to scale and spread PRO use within health systems thereby overcoming the factors that hinder their usage. Snyder will explain the benefits and challenges of using a mobile application to collect PRO data on medication adherence in pharmacies.
Piloting Pharmacy Consultation Program for Complex Patients
Amazon Pharmacy is piloting a program to provide pharmacy consultation services to One Medical providers, specifically for those that see high risk and complex care patients through initiatives like the One Medical Seniors at Home program. This new pilot program enables providers to easily request pharmacist consultations for things such as simple medication reviews or for more complicated needs, such as a comprehensive review of medication interactions.
Highlighting the Impact of Pharmacy Care Management Service
A recent study from RxAnte, in partnership with UPMC, shows the impact of a pharmacy care management service on medically complex Medicare Advantage members. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of an integrated PCM program for MA beneficiaries taking multiple chronic medications, including a subset with high predicted cost savings from improved medication adherence, assessed using the Value of Future Adherence (VFA) score.
