Connected Care’s Golden State Medicare Health Plan Taps AdhereHealth’s Technology to Help Improve Member Medication Adherence

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Golden State Medicare Health Plan, an HMO that specializes in the care of seniors, is deploying technology that uses advanced analytics to resolve medication adherence issues that affect patient outcomes and Medicare Advantage Star Ratings. The technology is provided by AdhereHealth™, a healthcare technology solutions leader that focuses on medication adherence and currently supports nearly 10 million consumers across the nation.

“We take a physician-led and member-centric approach – using innovative technologies is central to this mission,” said Dr. Sanjay Patil, CEO of Golden State Medicare Health Plan. “AdhereHealth’s technology helps us directly engage with our members to ensure medication adherence and improved health, an effort we can measure through higher Star Ratings.”

AdhereHealth’s technology platform, Adhere™, uses advanced analytics to identify members who need support in their medication adherence. Members experiencing medication adherence issues often are challenged by social determinants, such as poor health literacy and access to care. AdhereHealth’s nation-wide network of licensed clinicians use available health plan data and clinical workflow tools to engage directly with the consumer and their doctors to improve adherence.

“Our data-driven approach creates a positive experience for the consumer and promotes medication adherence that meaningfully improves healthcare outcomes,” said Jason Z. Rose, AdhereHealth CEO. “This also aligns perfectly with Golden State’s goal to use advanced technology to build a foundation for driving future growth and innovation across California.”
