MOORESTOWN, N.J., Dec. 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:TRHC) Medication Care Management Division and Mediture, a technology provider of Electronic Health Records (EHR) used by PACE organizations across the country, announced the official launch of their collaboratively developed, custom integration that enables a single electronic record, while accessing TRHC’s proprietary Medication Risk Mitigation (MRM) Matrix®, at the point of e-prescribing.
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program that helps eligible people, who are 55 or older, meet their health care needs in the community instead of entering a nursing home or other facility. Since 2011, TRHC has focused on optimizing outcomes for PACE through its national medication management and personalized, reminder adherence packaging and pharmacy services division. TRHC partners with approximately 15-20% of the PACE market nationwide.
"Prospectively identifying medication risk is essential to reducing avoidable adverse drug events, especially in the elderly,” stated TRHC Chairman and CEO, Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD. “According to our PACE clients, our Medication Risk Medication Matrix™ solution, coupled with our geriatric-certified and trained pharmacists, increases prescribing accuracy, shortens time to effective treatment and reduces total costs. Incorporating prospective Medication Risk Mitigation, as a medication safety strategy in the prescriber workflow, is a priority for TRHC.”
According to Dan Vatland, Mediture CEO and President, “Integrating TRHC’s proprietary tools with Mediture’s industry-leading TruChart EHR platform enables a truly unique and enhanced experience for our existing and future mutual PACE clients. Mediture is pleased to enhance the client experience while creating workflow efficiencies that assure data integrity."
Other features of the integration include back-end medication reconciliation, and a newly launched PACE staff collaboration feature that securely offers enhanced, real-time communication within TruChart, and between prescribers and TRHC clinical staff across the two platforms.
