New tool enables pharmacists to expand patient care services

RESTON, Va., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Mirixa Corporation, the leader in targeted pharmacy-based patient care services, is pleased to announce the general availability of MirixaEdge, a web-based clinical application that enables pharmacists to design patient care programs for any patient, regardless of health plan, employer, or age.

Introduced in October at the annual conference for the National Community Pharmacists Association, MirixaEdge uses the MirixaPro(SM) web-based platform to deliver medication therapy management (MTM) programs for patients. Pharmacists can also use MirixaEdge's condition-specific templates to track patient services for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and cardiovascular heart disease.  Typically, MTM services are provided exclusively for Medicare patients with multiple chronic conditions and who are expected to spend $3,000 per year on up to eight or more medications. With MirixaEdge, pharmacists are able to deliver MTM services to a broader range of patients in addition to those eligible under Medicare guidelines.

The application is now generally available and all pharmacies that contracted for MirixaEdge as part of the pre-release introduction are now able to expand their reach and engage patients with any condition to be more engaged and more informed about their medications and their health status.

Rick Solano, CEO of Mirixa, explains how MirixaEdge fits into the health care ecosystem: "Pharmacists are an extension of the patient care services that begin in the doctor's office. With MirixaEdge, pharmacists can track a patient's progress with a medication regimen, can coordinate care with the physician and can educate the patient—creating a truly collaborative environment. We are pleased to provide a technology platform that enables this important dialogue."

In addition to raising health awareness with patients, MirixaEdge provides an important conduit for advancing patient/pharmacist relationships, enhancing customer loyalty and creating a means of differentiating one pharmacy from another. Pharmacists can sign up for MirixaEdge online at www.Mirixa.com.
