YesRX Launches Health Advocate Site On First Anniversary
November 20, 2000 09:37:00 AM ET
LOS ANGELES--(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 20, 2000--YesRx.com, a leading provider of specialized pharmacy products and enhanced patient services announced the release of its new Health Advocate program along with a newly designed Internet site which incorporates over 20,000 additional over the counter products as well as new integrated health community destinations for HIV, Senior, Diabetic and disabled individuals.
Kaire Chairman and CEO Steven Westlund stated, "We are very pleased to introduce the Health Advocate program. We believe the program will be well received. It is based on the company's Consumer Advocate HIV pilot program, which has proven successful. The new program greatly expands the functionality and market reach of the original program. We are developing the next generation, which will integrate with physician's offices as well as retirement homes and other extended living facilities enabling the company to increase revenue from our existing customer base while also gaining new customers."
Westlund added, "I am pleased to announce that the Company just completed a product supply agreement with the Bergen Brunswick Company which provides access to approximately 90,000 over the counter products at prices below that charged by our previous supplier. We anticipate the price drop will have a positive effect on gross profits as early as the fourth quarter of this year."
Health Advocate Program Overview
In this version, the Health Advocate program serves HIV, Senior, diabetic and disabled patients either living on their own, or in assisted living facilities as well as their health care professionals (physicians, clinics, instructions). The program is free to patients who fill their prescriptions at YesRx.
The program has four primary goals, which are 1.) To improve medication compliance for all patients where such compliance is critical to the patients overall state of health as is the case with HIV positive or diabetic patients, 2.) To monitor and track the patient's daily response to their medication therapy, 3.) To enhance communication between patient and physician, 4.) To monitor medication supply ensuring the patient has uninterrupted access to their prescribed medications.
The program accomplishes its goals through a combination of products that increase compliance and personalized patient support services. The products include specialized packaging of prescription medication, devices that remind or alert the patient its time to take medication, other devices that calculate blood sugar levels or monitor pulse, as well as others. Personalized patient support services include individual health advocates who are trained and ready to manage a range of patient needs relating to their prescription medication therapy.
From an administrative view, the program has three main parts, 1.) Enrolling the patient and filling their prescription, 2.) Monitoring patient response, 3.) Communicating data to their physician.
Enrolling the patient will involve explaining the program and its options. Assisting the patient with monitoring devices if required. Prescriptions will be filled at Classic Care as they are now.
Monitoring patient response is the most time consuming aspect of the program and the most important. Either YesRx, the patient or their designates will record the date, the time, and reactions to their medication as well as other relevant information indicated by their medication therapy. Data is stored online in a YesRx patient database. There are several secure methods available to transmit patient data. Patients can transmit data by logging on to the appropriate Health Advocate center, or by e-mail, phone, and fax or in person. Additionally, patients can authorize their YesRx Health Advocate to collect and transmit their data. Each patient's data will be assigned a unique identifying code allowing that data to be selectively retrieved and displayed in various formats including numeric columns or dynamic charting.
Designated health care professionals may view patient data sets either by logging on to YesRx, or YesRx will transmit the data to the physician in any manner they request. Upon viewing a patients data set, physicians may adjust patient medications, add patient monitoring or alert devices, communicate with care managers of assisted living facilities or YesRx pharmacists, and other functionalities deemed relevant to the types of customers and facilities we serve. In the event that a physician wishes to change a patient's medication therapy, YesRx will confirm that change and inform the patient.
