Arcadia Resources, Inc. (NYSE Amex: KAD), a leading provider of
innovative consumer health care services under the Arcadia
HealthCare brand, today announced that it has signed a pilot
agreement with the Cleveland Clinic to utilize Arcadia’s DailyMed
program to support one of Cleveland Clinic’s transitional care
programs.
Through ongoing education and program development, including
creating a more robust patient home care program, Cleveland Clinic
aims to reduce readmissions and improve the health status of its
patients. During the three-month pilot Cleveland Clinic will
approach a select group of initial patients to participate and
assess a variety of factors related to patient outcomes, quality
measures and reduced readmissions with the target population. The
program will commence in late January.
“We are pleased to be working with one of the nation’s leading
hospital systems to integrate our medication management system into
an innovative program targeted at improving patient outcomes and
reducing hospital readmissions,” said Marvin Richardson, President
& CEO of Arcadia. “The program has become instrumental to the
strategies of leading health care systems and payer groups
challenged with improving medication adherence for patients on
chronic complex drug therapy regimens. This pilot program enables
us to work directly with a clinical team and the complex medication
requirements of patients upon discharge.”
DailyMed will fill the identified patients’ prescriptions as
prescribed by Cleveland Clinic physicians and manage their drug
therapy as they transition to the home setting. The program will
include a medication reconciliation process, the DailyMed
compliance packaging dispensing program and medication therapy
management assessments all targeted at improving patient outcomes
and reducing hospital readmissions.
