The software provides tools and training to help reinforce health management of patients through monitoring the use of prescribed medication and medication compliance in between patient-physician visits.
The program includes three product modules including an evidence-based continuing education (CE) program, an interactive design that demonstrates methods of advising patients on specific disease states in a way that promotes patient compliance with their medications and treatment plan.
The Health Management (HM) Tool Chest delivers interactive pharmacist-facilitated teaching materials that are customized for each disease state and structured to help the pharmacist enhance patient care at pharmacy level or by sending educational materials to be reviewed at home.
The Clinical Outcomes Measurement module offers pharmacist training on tracking program effectiveness, by a clinical analysis team from WellPoint Pharmacy Management.
The only way to effectively treat a chronic disease such as diabetes is to make sure all the members of a patient’s health care team are in sync with the disease treatment and management program prescribed by the physician, said Dr Anne Peters, medical director, University of California Diabetes Programs. Pharmacists are a vital part of a patient’s health care team. A program like RxFrontier helps to integrate all potential members of the patient’s care group to arrive at the best possible health care outcome for the member.
RxFrontier has been approved by the Accrediting Council for Pharmacy Education and is available to WellPoint Pharmacy Management network pharmacists.
