PRESS RELEASE
September 12, 2014: Fort Worth, TX—Rx.com Community Healthcare Network announces the release of the Care Rx® application—a streamlined, patient-centric approach to clinical outcomes. Care Rx serves as a complete clinical services documentation platform for patient-focused medication therapy management (MTM), clinical disease management results, and wellness programs. Designed to facilitate collaborative healthcare, the streamlined workflow of Care Rx and seamless integration helps pharmacy professionals go beyond filling prescriptions, expand their role in patient outcomes, and improve 5-star ratings.
Care Rx is integrated with PDX’s Enterprise Pharmacy System (EPS), the Community Pharmacy System, and the PDX Classic system and is available via a secure sign-on from any Web browser. When the Care Rx application is enabled within one of our compatible systems, pharmacists log in via the Patient Information page in which patient identification and triggers can be established to identify MTM opportunities. This easy process for accessing Care Rx within the pharmacy system saves the pharmacist the time of going outside of the pharmacy system workflow to use a non-integrated system.
Integrated with the Rx.com Electronic Pharmacy Record (EPR), Care Rx facilitates the real-time aggregation of clinical data into a patient’s EHR. Data collected through MTM sessions—including any standardized records as well as lab results—become part of the patient’s clinical view. This data—along with prescription data—provides a comprehensive view of a patient’s overall healthcare status.
With the Care Rx application, pharmacies are now able to easily collect data, perform MTM sessions, track medication adherence, perform Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs), execute high-touch specialty drug clinical programs, enter lab results, record activities such as vaccinations, and give pharmacists the opportunity to collaborate with patients in wellness programs. Care Rx also provides Rx.com Performance Network participants the opportunity to perform Manufacturer-provided MTM questions, modules, and sessions that focus on the patient, drug, and disease and generate significant new revenue to the pharmacy. "The best feature of Care Rx is its flexibility. You can use your own custom MTM program if a local health plan requires it for network access or you can use one supplied by PDX," said PDX CEO Jeff
Farris. "
Also, gaining momentum in the market is the push to provide accessible healthcare professionals that can offer patient services in convenient locations. We believe Care Rx equips pharmacists with a flexible clinical services platform necessary to remain competitive in this outcomes-based environment. We think you will agree."
