DUBLIN,
Ohio, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal
Health (NYSE:CAH) today announced its collaboration with
Signify Health (NYSE:SGFY) to offer in-home clinical and medication
management services through its Outcomes™ business. This
collaboration will help reduce costs and eliminate gaps in care for
more than 2.3 million members nationwide to support their treatment
journey from prescription to pharmacy to home.
Studies have shown that many members do not take their
medications as prescribed. Bringing together Signify
Health's1 mobile network of 11,000+ credentialed
clinicians with Outcomes' industry leading OutcomesOne™ clinical
care platform and omnichannel network of pharmacies and payers,
this collaboration will help to address medication management
challenges for health plan members by offering coordinated care
from Signify Health clinicians who are also performing evaluations
of those members in the home.
Using the insights gathered during in-home evaluations,
Signify Health is able to use the OutcomesOne™ platform to identify
and resolve the medication therapy management needs of members.
"At Outcomes, we're working to revolutionize the healthcare
journey by offering a more integrated experience that connects all
sites of care," said Brent Stutz,
senior vice president and general manager of Outcomes™. "As more
patients recover and manage their chronic illnesses from home, this
collaboration with Signify Health will help drive more powerful
connections across transitions of care, enabling pharmacies and
payers to reach patients who are often most in need of additional
support."
The collaboration will initially focus on addressing
interventions recommended for Medicare Advantage members of joint
clients and may expand into additional services, such as population
health programs, and additional clinical interventions.
"From our experience conducting medication reviews in thousands
of homes each day, we understand the importance of making
medication management more convenient, accessible and connected to
daily life," said David Pierre,
chief operating officer, Signify Health. "We look forward to
joining forces with Outcomes to bring this vital service to improve
medication safety and adherence and drive more value for the people
we are privileged to serve."
