AssistMed executed an agreement with Kerr Health Care Services to implement AssistMed's Patient Adherence and Disease Management Solutions

AssistMed, Inc. announced it has executed an agreement with Kerr Health Care Services, a Specialty Pharmacy Provider (SPP), to implement AssistMed's Patient Adherence and Disease Management Solutions. Terms were not disclosed.

AssistMed's 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.

"Medication adherence is an important objective of Specialty Pharmacy," said Adee Feinstein, vice president of Patient Adherence Solutions, AssistMed, Inc. "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."

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.

"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," stated Mike Brown, R.Ph. president of Kerr Health Care Services. "We see this implementation as a natural extension of our mission in support of the Specialty patient and all surrounding stakeholders."

AssistMed 's Patient Adherence Solutions includes Clinication(TM), a web-based Patient/Provider Adherence Management System, and CellPly(TM) -- a device-independent mobile phone solution which follows the patient wherever they may be. These technologies are designed to support and reinforce Specialty Pharmacy's focus on Patient Education, Ongoing Monitoring, and Required Interventions, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional outbound call centers.
