VUCA Health and Innovation Partner to Provide Digital Patient Education to Pharmacy Patients
LAKE MARY, Fla., March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — VUCA Health and Innovation today announced they have partnered on an initiative to offer digital patient education as a more effective patient safety and health literacy component of prescription fulfillment for pharmacy patients. Innovation, the market-leading provider of high-volume pharmacy automation technology and software solutions to the retail, hospital, federal health care, and mail-order pharmacy markets, has integrated VUCA Health’s MedsOnCue with its PharmASSIST Symphony® workflow and operations management platform.
VUCA Health has created the industry’s largest library of medication education videos. The company’s eco-friendly solution aims to address low health literacy while also helping pharmacies save on costs associated with providing medication information normally given on paper. With MedsOnCue, pharmacies provide their patients with access to information about their medication through a QR code printed on their prescription bottle. Patients can also access a short video about their prescription and even view a high-resolution image of their medication.
Innovation’s PharmASSIST Symphony platform serves as the hub of its customers’ central-fill and mail-order pharmacies’ entire prescription fulfillment process, providing intelligent demand management, streamlined workflow, and in-depth quality control. As the long-time pharmacy automation partner of the U.S. Air Force, Innovation plans to implement MedsOnCue at all Air Force base pharmacies worldwide and to other Defense Health Agency (DHA) medical facilities that use Symphony. Additionally, Innovation will offer MedsOnCue to its wide range of retail, mail-order, and hospital/health-system customers.
“With patient safety top of mind due to much of the recent news, we believe aligning with VUCA Health to help expand the use of digital patient education is a positive step forward for the industry’s high-volume pharmacies,” said Marvin Richardson, co-president, Innovation. “Additionally, as patients start to demand digital education over traditional paper, we provide a forward-thinking solution to our customers to help them meet this growing consumer demand.”
“Aligning with organizations that always have the patient experience in mind is a key focus for us at VUCA Health,” said Richard Waithe, PharmD, president, VUCA Health. “As Innovation continues to set new standards for scaling high-volume pharmacy operations, we’re happy to join them on their mission to help pharmacies optimize outcomes.”
