AssistMed Enters Into Agreement With Kerr Health Care Services

AssistMed has executed an agreement with Kerr Health Care Services, a Specialty Pharmacy Provider (SPP), to implement AssistMed’s Patient Adherence and Disease Management Solutions.

Under the agreement, AssistMed will provide Kerr Health Care Services, its pharmacists, disease- and case-managers, physicians, nonprofessional caregivers and patients with access to advanced tools to better manage adherence to the prescribed plan-of-care, generate variance alerts, and securely interact with patients.

The company claims that its solutions help patients, providers, and caregivers collaborate via web and cell phone-based applications, improving patients adherence to prescribed plans-of-care and promoting medication regimen persistency and self-care compliance.

AssistMed’s Patient Adherence Solutions includes Clinication, a web-based Patient/Provider Adherence Management System, and CellPly, a device-independent mobile phone solution which follows the patient wherever they may be.

Adee Feinstein, vice president of patient adherence solutions at AssistMed, said: Medication adherence is an important objective of Specialty Pharmacy. We are honored by this exciting relationship with Kerr Health Care Services and applaud its foresight in applying innovative technologies in support of patients’ adherence to their prescribed plan-of-care.

Mike Brown, president of Kerr Health Care Services, said: Incorporating AssistMed’s technologies into our services creates a new standard of practice in Specialty Pharmacy, one that engages both patients and their caregivers in an efficient, meaningful manner. We see this implementation as a natural extension of our mission in support of the Specialty patient and all surrounding stakeholders.
