Progressive Care Subsidiary PharmCo
Partners with Westchester General Hospital to Implement New
DischargeRx Program
Miami, FL -- July 26, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Progressive Care Inc.
(OTCQB: RXMD),
a personalized
healthcare
services and technology company, today announced a partnership
with Westchester General Hospital
to
implement DischargeRX
transitional
care program. Westchester General Hospital is the first hospital to
begin using Progressive Care's
new proprietary patient engagement program, first launched earlier this
month.
After working
with patients in the hospital setting, Westchester General Hospital
has identified numerous readmission risks stemming from
post-discharge/transitional care. Their case workers routinely work
with patients to minimize these difficulties but have been
dutifully searching for an effective solution to transitional care
management. Through Progressive Care's wholly owned
subsidiary PharmCo, LLC, DischargeRX
will provide
Westchester with much-needed support to prevent unnecessary and
costly hospital readmissions. DischargeRX
will offer hospital
patients and physicians access to a PharmCo representative, who
will offer medication-related services throughout the
patient's transitional
process.
"Westchester
General Hospital is looking to interrupt the standard care model
and implement innovative solutions. Patients need a reliable
advocate and healthcare service provider who can manage and monitor
patient adherence and outcomes outside of the hospital
setting," said Rudy Garcia, CEO of
Westchester General Hospital. "We believe that
PharmCo's DischargeRX program is the answer we have
been looking for and hope that our patients can now look forward to
getting even more value when they choose our
hospital."
The
partnership with PharmCo will allow Westchester General Hospital to
continue its mission of going above and beyond for the patient. The
implementation of the DischargeRX
transitional
care program will help to solve many of the problems associated
with timely medication reconciliations, patient consultation and
education, prescription access and adherence, and post-discharge
follow-ups. Through direct interaction with the patient, PharmCo
will provide medication synchronization, PharmCo SmartPack
adherence packaging options, and care coaching to ensure patients
understand their treatment, stay on track and follow-up with their
physicians.
"Westchester
General Hospital has devoted many resources to deliver quality care
to its patients and believes that healthcare success involves
access and engagement,"
said
S. Parikh Mars, CEO of Progressive Care. "We
believe that our customizable transitional care solution
DischargeRx
will
help to reduce readmission risk and improve health outcomes by
eliminating gaps and impediments to adherence and access to
care."
Located in
Miami, Fla., Westchester General Hospital is a leading hospital
specializing in the provision of acute care and healthcare services
