MOORESTOWN, N.J., June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula Rasa
HealthCare, Inc (TRHC) (NASDAQ: TRHC), a leading
healthcare technology company advancing the safe use of
medications, today announced that its new MedWise Risk
Level™, is now available directly through the
PrescribeWellness Patient Engagement Center. The new MedWise Risk
Level uses the company's proprietary MedWise® technology to help
pharmacists quickly identify patients who are at risk for
adverse drug events (ADEs) and to facilitate the delivery of
personalized medication decision support.
In February of 2021, TRHC introduced their proven MedWise Risk
Score™ to the PrescribeWellness software, enabling
community pharmacists to identify simultaneous, accumulative,
multi-drug interactions. The MedWise Risk Level streamlines that
same advanced science for faster indication of potential medication
risk. The MedWise Risk Level is available in the Patient Engagement
Center at no cost to PrescribeWellness customers. Pharmacists
interested in harnessing the full suite of MedWise medication
decision support tools may still access the MedWise Risk Score
through accredited MedWise Advisor™ certification.
"Our nationwide network of community pharmacists can now utilize
the MedWise Risk Level to identify patients most at risk for the
ADEs that cause millions of avoidable emergency room visits and
hospital stays each year," said Farah
Madhat, PharmD, MA, Executive Vice President of TRHC's
MedWise HealthCare Division. "We offer specialized medication
safety training for community pharmacists who wish to effect
risk-lowering changes directly with patients and prescribers.
Patients can also be escalated to TRHC, where expert pharmacists
conduct comprehensive Medication Safety Reviews™ and recommend
medication regimen changes to help reduce risk."
Embedded directly within TRHC's PrescribeWellness software, a
leading patient relationship management solution, the MedWise Risk
Level helps pharmacists quickly identifty patients who are at risk
for medication-related problems and facilitates the evaluation of
medication safety service escalation. For more than 10 years,
PrescribeWellness has partnered with community pharmacies to create
healthcare destinations that provide broad, preventive clinical
services, leveraging technology-driven solutions.
MedWise uses active medication ingredients of a patient's
complete medication list, including over-the-counter medications,
supplements, and more to predict the risk of medication problems
and ADEs. Peer-reviewed, published studies have found that a lower
MedWise Risk Score correlated with fewer ADEs, emergency department
visits, and hospitalizations; lower medical costs; and a lower risk
of premature death.
Christopher Antypas, PharmD,
President & Chief Operating Officer, Asti's South Hills
Pharmacy of Pittsburgh, PA says,
"if you're looking for a tool to differentiate yourself, but more
importantly, to take care of patients in a way that they have never
been taken care of before, it is crystal clear that the MedWise
technology is the pathway to do that."
