Integrating digital health initiatives within your pharmacy is one way to show patients that you're willing to meet their needs. "In today’s healthcare landscape, patients are looking for accessible, affordable solutions, especially those who may be uninsured, underinsured, or unable to reach a healthcare provider due to logistical challenges." At IPC, we believe our digital health initiative, iCare+, may be exactly what your independent pharmacy needs. iCare+ offers pharmacies a way to serve patients who might otherwise forgo essential health services due to a lack of coverage. This tool offers affordable telemedicine and virtual care options, meaning that uninsured patients can now receive the care they need.

It’s an important and proud day Surescripts as we release the 2023 National Progress Report that shows, along with the Network Alliance, how we’re advancing interoperability at scale: last year we saw a nearly 10% increase in patient intelligence sharing or nearly 24 billion exchanges of patient clinical and benefit information and our network connected 2.14 million care providers and reached more than 99% of the U.S. population. But it goes beyond the numbers – I’m proud of the impact that interoperability at this scale means for patients and those who care for them. Like when our technology saved patients an average of $37 per prescription and $785 per specialty medication and helped them get their needed medications faster. And what it means to have a clear view of clinician burnout and the impact it is having on patient access to care: 62.9% of U.S. counties had fewer than one primary care provider (PCP) for every 1,500 residents, and 196 had no primary care providers at all in 2023. The numbers also reveal where opportunity exists – highlighting the top 10 counties most impacted by worsening PCP shortages but where pharmacies could fill in the gaps to ensure patients have timely access to quality healthcare. This data also helps us identify where our innovations can have the greatest impact, empowering clinicians to collaborate more meaningfully as responsibilities shift across the care team. The report shows a variety of care providers are taking on more clinical responsibility—including pharmacists, among whom e-prescribing jumped dramatically in 2023. There’s a lot to unpack in this report and I look forward to sharing more at HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition #himss24 this week and in the days and months that follow. I hope you’ll check it out.

Our annual report - filled with insightful stats on the state of E-prescribing, interoperable data exchange, real-time benefit information and more - dropped today! Just in time for the first day of #himss24 #himss2024 - check it out! 👀 (who doesn’t love free research?!)

The landscape of health care is rapidly evolving, and two key areas leading this transformation are Utilization Management and Case Management. Notably, physicians are finding value in the flexibility of remote work offered by Utilization and Case Management, contributing to a reduction in burnout rates among medical practitioners. However, the impact of these practices extends far beyond individual physicians. They play a crucial role in improving the quality of care and resource management within the healthcare insurance industry. By leveraging data-driven insights and streamlined processes, these areas empower organizations to optimize resource allocation, enhance patient outcomes, and drive operational efficiencies. #utilizationmanagement #casemanagement #medicalregulation

Forced consumerism in healthcare, driven by patients having increased “skin in the game,” has not generated tangible systemic value but has led to fragmentation. Patients face increasingly expensive choices for potential treatment paths without clear guidance on the quality or value of those options. This information asymmetry forces patients to navigate a complex web of providers and services to discover the most affordable option within the constraints of provider networks and referral patterns. They also face the added challenge of evaluating direct-to-consumer options, which may be more affordable but often exist outside of the “traditional” healthcare system. The complexity of this task is further compounded by the lack of price transparency in the U.S. healthcare system.   This week, we examine how fragmentation within the healthcare system creates gaps in care and inconsistent quality, fostered by forced consumerism (Trend 6).

The best clinical decisions don’t happen in a vacuum. Give providers accurate medication data when and where they need it to fuel positive outcomes. Since 2000, DrFirst has pioneered healthcare technology solutions and consulting services that securely connect people at every touchpoint of care to improve patient outcomes. #digitalhealth #HealthIT #healthcare

Healthcare accreditation bodies set national standards for these measurements, involving input from various stakeholders like doctors, patients, and government agencies. These standards ensure the measurements: ✔ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. ✔ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀. ✔ 𝗔𝗱𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. ✔ 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸. Clear measurement helps healthcare continuously improve and deliver the best possible care. Think of it like checking progress on a project. By tracking what happens after treatment, we can: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 & 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲: Hospitals can identify areas for improvement and learn from best practices around the world.
