NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyphen, the technology company creating connected-care, has launched its innovative Pharmacy Assistant app. The app presents community pharmacists the real-time information and insights they need to improve patient care and experience and receive quality incentives for taking action while remaining in their own system and workflow..

纽约-（商业线）-创建互联医疗的技术公司Hyphen推出了创新的药房助理应用程序。该应用程序向社区药剂师提供他们需要改善患者护理和经验的实时信息和见解，并在保持自己的系统和工作流程的同时获得采取行动的质量激励措施。。

Healthfirst, New York’s largest not-for-profit health insurance companyi with more than 1.8 million members, is the first payer using the Pharmacy Assistant app to power its Pharmacy Incentive Program. The first-of-its kind program is designed to empower pharmacists within Healthfirst’s network to help improve medication adherence rates, increase members’ understanding of their health plan benefits, and get compensated for those actions..

Healthfirst是纽约最大的非营利性健康保险公司，拥有180多万成员，是第一个使用药房助理应用程序为其药房激励计划提供动力的付款人。首个同类计划旨在赋予Healthfirst网络内的药剂师权力，帮助提高药物依从率，提高成员对健康计划福利的理解，并为这些行动提供补偿。。

“Healthfirst’s Pharmacy Incentive Program is a perfect example of what is possible when organizations use Hyphen’s Pharmacy Assistant app to seamlessly collaborate around their patients,” said Suzanne Wogelius, Head of Product, Hyphen. “We are happy that Hyphen is able to serve as the connecting platform so pharmacists can get quality incentives for the work they do to improve outcomes for Healthfirst members.”.

Hyphen产品负责人Suzanne Wogelius说：“Healthfirst的药房激励计划是组织使用Hyphen的药房助理应用程序无缝协作患者的完美范例。“我们很高兴Hyphen能够作为连接平台，以便药剂师可以为他们所做的工作获得质量激励，以改善健康第一成员的结果。”。

Pharmacists participating in the Pharmacy Incentive Program receive compensation for educating members about aspects of their health insurance benefits and for completing tasks around medication adherence, such as reaching out to members to refill prescriptions and converting medications to a 90-day supply.

参与药房奖励计划的药剂师将获得对成员进行健康保险福利方面教育以及完成药物依从性相关任务的补偿，例如与成员联系以补充处方并将药物转换为90天供应。

Pharmacists can also receive quality bonuses for improving medication adherence and member experience..

药剂师还可以获得质量奖金，以改善药物依从性和会员体验。。

Healthfirst’s Pharmacy Incentive Program targets medication adherence rates and patient experience scores for Healthfirst Medicare members taking medications that help control cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes. Given a typical Healthfirst member will connect 5 to 10 more times annually with their pharmacist than with their primary care physician, this program is an essential part of Healthfirst’s commitment to advancing health equity and value-based care..

Healthfirst的药房激励计划针对Healthfirst Medicare成员服用有助于控制胆固醇，高血压或糖尿病的药物的药物依从率和患者体验评分。鉴于典型的Healthfirst成员每年将与其药剂师联系5至10次，而不是与其初级保健医生联系，该计划是Healthfirst致力于推进健康公平和基于价值的护理的重要组成部分。。

“We’ve long recognized that many of our members rely on their local and independent pharmacists for both medication assistance and a friendly source of reliable health information, both of which impact health outcomes and satisfaction,” said Bhavesh Modi, VP, Pharmacy, Healthfirst. “Historically, it has been challenging to incorporate pharmacists into value-based programs, but Hyphen’s cutting-edge technology is changing that.”.

“我们早就认识到，我们的许多成员依靠当地和独立的药剂师提供药物援助和可靠健康信息的友好来源，这两者都会影响健康结果和满意度，”药房副总裁Bhavesh Modi说，Healthfirst。“从历史上看，将药剂师纳入基于价值的计划一直是一项挑战，但Hyphen的尖端技术正在改变这一点。”。

Hyphen’s Pharmacy Assistant app is in use now at more than 150 pharmacies that serve Healthfirst Medicare members in New York City. These pharmacies all use Micro Merchant Systems’ PrimeRx® software, and the Pharmacy Assistant app integrates with that existing software. The app helps pharmacies easily track completed patient education activities and receive quality incentives for specific services performed that improve medication adherence and patient satisfaction..

Hyphen的药房助理应用程序现在在纽约市为Healthfirst Medicare成员提供服务的150多家药房使用。这些药店都使用微商人系统的PrimeRx®软件，药房助理应用程序与现有软件集成。该应用程序帮助药房轻松跟踪已完成的患者教育活动，并为所执行的特定服务提供质量激励措施，以提高药物依从性和患者满意度。。

“We are excited to partner with Hyphen and Healthfirst to bridge gaps in patient care by guiding pharmacists in real-time so that appropriate counseling and care are provided to the patients and, at the same time, revenue incentives are generated for the pharmacies for the vital work that they are doing in implementing care that positively affects their patients' health-outcomes,” said Ketan Mehta, CEO, Micro Merchant Systems, Inc..

“我们很高兴与Hyphen和Healthfirst合作，通过实时指导药剂师弥合患者护理方面的差距，以便为患者提供适当的咨询和护理，同时为药房提供收入激励措施。他们在实施对患者健康结果有积极影响的护理方面所做的重要工作，”Ketan说Mehta，Micro Merchant Systems，Inc。首席执行官。。

In addition to the patient-level Pharmacy Assistant app, Hyphen expects to launch an enhanced version of the app that includes a worklist that showcases a population-level view of Healthfirst Medicare members who are served by the pharmacy. This will allow pharmacies to proactively reach out to patients to schedule a flu vaccine or follow up on new to therapy medications and in general address gaps in care to help improve care quality..

除了患者级别的药房助理应用程序外，Hyphen还希望推出增强版本的应用程序，其中包括一个工作列表，显示药房服务的Healthfirst Medicare成员的人口级别视图。这将使药房能够主动接触患者，安排流感疫苗或跟进新的治疗药物，并通常解决护理方面的差距，以帮助提高护理质量。。
