Tabula Rasa HealthCare to Partner with Pharmaceutical Association of Israel To Promote MedWise® Science
MOORESTOWN, N.J., Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc.® (TRHC) (NASDAQ: TRHC), a leading healthcare technology company advancing the safe use of medications, today announced that it signed a Letter of Intent with the Pharmaceutical Association of Israel (PAI) to promote TRHC's propriety MedWise® Science among pharmacists in community, hospital, and academic settings in Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
"This is an exciting first step that could bring the power of MedWise to Israel and help advance the safe use of medication and personal health in the region," said TRHC Chairman and CEO Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD. "With our unique MedWise Science, pharmacists in Israel will be able to identify patients who are most at risk for adverse drug events (ADE) that cause millions of avoidable emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and premature death each year."
MedWise decision support tools help pharmacists assess the combined risk of a patient's medication regimen, incorporating pharmacogenomics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics to identify the potential for multi-drug interactions before they occur. The combined sciences are transformed into a personalized MedWise Risk Score™. Certified MedWise Pharmacists can then provide recommendations to reduce the MedWise Risk Score, which has been demonstrated to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
"We at the Pharmaceutical Association of Israel sincerely believe that the use of innovative technologies in pharmacy operating settings, both community and otherwise, will positively help ensure a better pharmaceutical service for the patient," said David Papo RPh, Chairman, Pharmaceutical Association of Israel. "The potential of the Tabula Rasa systems looks interesting and most promising in this respect."
Pharmaceutical Association of Israel is the national organization dedicated to promoting and supporting pharmacies and pharmacists in Israel.
