From improving medication adherence to ensuring patient safety
by reducing adverse drug reactions, the program is designed to help
decrease hospital admissions and enhance the overall member
experience.
Humana members with CHF and COPD, who agreed to participate,
were included in a randomized control trial, considered the gold
standard for evaluating health interventions.
“Humana has a strong commitment to patient safety and medication
adherence,” said Bethanie Stein, PharmD, Humana Senior Vice
President of PBM Services. “This collaboration allows us to tap
into Curant Health’s innovative approach to personalized patient
care and data driven insights while integrating our already
successful methods for helping our members take their medicines as
prescribed.”
“At Curant Health we have a saying that ‘Outcomes Speak Louder
Than Words.’ Our work with Humana embodies that exact thought.
Curant Health measures success one patient at a time and ensures
that the patient voice is captured through validated scales. This
prospective study will help clearly demonstrate the impact of our
unique care model on patient lives,” says Patrick Dunham, CEO and
Co-Founder of Curant Health.
