MOORESTOWN, N.J., June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula Rasa
HealthCare, Inc (TRHC) (NASDAQ: TRHC), a leading
healthcare technology company advancing the safe use of
medications, is collaborating with four more state pharmacy
associations to bring TRHC's MedWise® technology to
association members. MedWise medication decision support tools
identify simultaneous, accumulative, multi-drug interactions,
enabling pharmacists to improve medication safety, efficacy, and
adherence.
TRHC signs agreements with 12 state pharmacy associations to help
pharmacists reduce adverse drug events using MedWise.
The addition of California,
Arizona, Michigan, and Washington brings the total number of state
associations that have signed agreements with TRHC to 12. The first
eight associations include: Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, North
Dakota, Maryland,
Virginia, and Oregon.
The purpose of the partnerships is to encourage pharmacists to
proactively help reduce the risk of Adverse Drug Events (ADEs)
through educational initiatives, best-practice exchanges and
deployment of TRHC's propriety MedWise medication safety
technology. Members also have access to the Certified MedWise
Advisor™ program, through which they gain expertise about
aggregated medication risk, adverse drug event prevention,
evidence-based pharmaceutical care, enhanced patient outcomes, and
outcomes-focused cost-reduction.
"State associations promote and protect the role of the
pharmacist as the medication expert in patient care relationships
and as an integral part of the health care team," said Kelly Fine, RPh, FAzPA, Chief Executive Officer
Arizona Pharmacy Association. "Pharmacists need tools to deal with
complex medication regimens and identify patients at risk for
adverse drug events, which MedWise supports."
Momentum is building among state associations as TRHC continues
to work with all states to empower pharmacists with MedWise
technology and to help prevent adverse drug events, one of the
nation's leading causes of death.
"State pharmacy associations are driving pharmacy practice
expansion across the country. TRHC is pleased to have the
opportunity to work with them to create ways to improve pharmacy
practice through MedWise," said TRHC Senior Vice President,
Professional Affairs Mindy Smith, BSPharm, RPh, MHA, CMWA.
