Summary
Gift will support research projects for the Coordination of Care and Innovation strategic initiative SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The NCPDP Foundation announced today a new partnership with CoverMyMeds to support the Foundations recently established fourth strategic initiative, which focuses on empowering Coordination of Care and Innovation. "The NCPDP Foundation Board felt very strongly that our fourth strategic initiative should reflect the healthcare industrys shift to a team-based care model," said J.W. "A more interoperable approach to patient care—the heart of our Coordination of Care and Innovation initiative—is exactly the type of change needed to achieve the Foundations vision of a healthcare ecosystem that continuously innovates and fully incorporates health information technology as a tool to deliver better outcomes for the common good of all," Hill concluded. While much progress has been made to streamline electronic documentation and information exchange in the last decade, there are still many underexplored opportunities to prove how pharmacists contribute to a patient-centered care model. Through innovation and collaboration, CoverMyMeds solutions seamlessly connect the healthcare network to improve medication access; thereby increasing speed to therapy and reducing prescription abandonment.
