Thomas Bryce, MD, PhD (CTO and cofounder, OnePACS) added, "The entire team at OnePACS is thrilled about the possibilities we can achieve together with Experity. Their offering is a natural complement to OnePACS' role in the teleradiology ecosystem, and their focus on urgent care dovetails well with OnePACS' teleradiology sweet spot. Benefitting from their resources and expertise, we are confident we’ll continue to innovate and grow the OnePACS platform to benefit providers, teleradiology groups and patients."

Emory Healthcare Teams Up with DrFirst to Enhance Medication Adherence

Emory Healthcare | November 06, 2023

Emory Healthcare aims to improve prescription affordability and medication outcomes by offering comprehensive, real-time data, including patient out-of-pocket drug costs. Emory is optimizing clinician workflows and enhancing patient medication adherence with Fuzion through DrFirst's three medication management services. UPMC Health System employs AI-driven virtual assistants to address medication nonadherence, engaging high-risk patients via SMS or robocall messages before and between prescription fills. Emory Healthcare and DrFirst have collaborated to address medication adherence by providing comprehensive data at the point of care, including options for patients to assess out-of-pocket drug costs. Emory aims to aid patients in achieving prescription affordability and enhancing their medication outcomes. Emory Healthcare has implemented three medication management services available within the Fuzion platform by DrFirst, which offer clinicians access to medication histories. This initiative aims to streamline clinician workflows and enhance medication adherence among patients. This development holds importance in its potential to decrease adverse drug events for Emory Healthcare patients and provide them with AI-driven information about prescription costs during medical visits, thereby fostering transparency and informed decision-making. DrFirst's advanced medication management platform can enhance electronic prescribing workflows by optimizing the usability of clinical data. This platform is capable of electronically completing prior authorizations and addressing claim rejections. Furthermore, it provides real-time prescription drug benefits and pricing information, enabling physicians to discuss medication costs with their patients and potentially transition to more cost-effective therapeutic alternatives. This can reduce prescription abandonment rates and, consequently, enhance overall health outcomes. G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst, said. For many patients, especially those with chronic conditions, taking their medications as prescribed is vital to positive health outcomes and staying out of the hospital. [Source – Healthcare IT News] DrFirst believes that precise and comprehensive medication data contributes significantly to patient safety. Additionally, presenting an entire year's worth of patient medication history can expedite medication reconciliation procedures for healthcare providers. Furthermore, providing drug-allergy, dosing, and duplicate therapy alerts directly to clinicians at the point of care supplies them with valuable information. The integration of technology aids in rendering clinical data more user-friendly and facilitates smoother workflows, ultimately aiding clinicians and patients in achieving improved medication outcomes. Emory Healthcare is set to implement HIPAA-compliant automated patient messaging for electronic prescription alerts. This system will allow patients to review their prescriptions and receive relevant patient education materials, among other features. As for the broader trend, the adoption of AI for improving medication adherence has demonstrated its effectiveness, leading to positive outcomes in both clinical and financial aspects.

Best Buy Health and Geisinger Enhance Home Chronic Disease Management

Geisinger | September 13, 2023

Collaborating with Best Buy's Geek Squad ensures faster care, better adherence, and superior outcomes for chronic care patients. In 2021, Geisinger launched ConnectedCare365, enrolling over 1,100 patients in remote monitoring for various chronic conditions via Best Buy Health's Current Health platform. In July 2022, Best Buy Health and Geisinger began a program with Geek Squad Agents to deliver and activate remote care management devices. Best Buy Health and Geisinger have announced their commitment to expand their collaborative efforts to enhance the quality of care for a broader patient population within the Geisinger network. This expansion builds upon their successful delivery of in-home care to patients with chronic conditions through Geek Squad. This initiative currently encompasses 300 Geisinger patients. During their home visits, these agents critically educate patients about the technology integral to their care plan. They offer detailed explanations about the devices, instruct patients on proper usage, and ensure seamless data transmission to the patient's care team. Additionally, agents are available to help with troubleshooting as needed, and they oversee the collection and processing of all devices after a patient leaves the program, following the care team's instructions. The program has achieved a remarkable 50% reduction in the time it takes for a patient to go from admission into the chronic care at-home program to the completion of device setup. This pivotal shift has seen the period shrink from an average of 96 hours to just 48 hours. Furthermore, patients' adherence to their care plans has improved by a commendable 19%, evident in their consistent use of remote technology equipment. Additionally, there has been an 18% decline in reported technical issues, and when replacements were necessary, Geek Squad agents swiftly provided new devices within 24 hours of receiving reports. These exceptional results have garnered positive patient feedback, with a net promoter score of 89 when asked about their experience with Geek Squad's home visits for chronic care program setup. Deborah Di Sanzo, President of Best Buy Health, stated, The results of our program show that when we combine what Best Buy is known for—technology support and expertise—with Geisinger's best-in-class care teams and network of clinics and hospitals, we can make a meaningful difference in the patient and caregiver experience. [Source: Business Wire] Additionally, she emphasized Geisinger's outstanding performance on this initiative. She expressed strong enthusiasm for expanding these capabilities nationwide, in alignment with Best Buy Health's mission to promote accessible at-home care for everyone.
