MOORESTOWN, N.J., Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula Rasa
HealthCare, Inc.® (TRHC) (NASDAQ:
TRHC), a leading healthcare technology company advancing
the safe use of medications, today announced a new initiative with
Drake University and Certintell to
drive improved health outcomes and demonstrate the value of
combining remote patient monitoring (RPM) and comprehensive
medication management, including MedWise® Medication Safety Reviews
(MSRs) throughout rural Iowa.
The project is being funded through a 5-year $1.6 million grant from the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA).
New initiative demonstrates value of pairing remote patient
monitoring and TRHC's MedWise® to Enhance Healthcare
"This innovative initiative will further demonstrate the value
of MedWise® to improve health outcomes using a team-based,
comprehensive medication management telehealth approach," said TRHC
Chair and CEO Calvin H. Knowlton,
Ph.D. "Through our collaboration with Drake
University, our proprietary MedWise technology will
facilitate medication safety reviews, conducted by a certified
MedWise pharmacist, to help improve medication safety and, through
Certintell's RPM clinical workflows, the proportion of adults with
uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and/or obesity. The
culmination of these efforts will result in reduced
medication-related problems, including falls, and
hospitalizations."
The grant will focus on delivering primary care, remote patient
monitoring, chronic care management, and comprehensive medication
management via telehealth. Through these collaborative efforts,
this initiative will provide a sustainable, evidence-based
telehealth network program (EB TNP) for Iowa's rural population seeking care at
critical access hospitals, rural health clinics, in-home, and
through virtual medical practices.
TRHC's Research and Development Pillar, through its Office of
Translational Research and Residency Programs, will conduct a
prospective investigation to demonstrate the impact of MedWise
medication safety reviews in tandem with primary care services and
health coaches to improve health outcomes for Dual-Eligible and
Medicare beneficiaries.
