SinfoníaRx Now Provides Access to Pharmacists’ Advice on Medication and Diabetes Through Their Partnership with Ventanilla...
June 16 2016 - 07:18PM
“Ventanilla de Salud” (VDS) which translates to “window of health,”
is a health education and resource initiative that helps people get
connected with the right clinics or health information resources
and preventative information for Mexican nationals who visit the
Mexican consulate. The program is offered in Mexican consulates
throughout the United States.
A partnership with SinfoniaRx will provide access
to health information in Spanish for those individuals seeking
information related to diabetes and medications.
Earlier this year, SinfoniaRx launched a new
initiative clinical program called “Prescriptions with a goal -
partners in your health” or “Recetas con metas - compañeros en
su salud” focused on the growing Hispanic population that has
reached nearly 57 million in the US. SinfoniaRx’s Spanish speaking
medication therapy management (MTM) providers are internationally
recognized and experts in complex and chronic disease
management.
In 2015, over 4,000 Comprehensive Medication
Reviews (CMRs) were completed by SinfoniaRx’s Spanish MTM
providers. In 2016, these numbers are anticipated to grow.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Hispanics have
a higher incidence of diabetes and liver disease leading to a
need for personalized MTM services.
