PipelineRx Showcases Value of Cloud-Based Pharmacy Platform Through Posters and Demonstrations at ASHP Midyear Meeting

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PipelineRx, the leading pharmacy platform and services company, will be showcasing its Discharge Management solution at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017 Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition, December 3-7 in Orlando. For nearly a decade, the Company has partnered with hundreds of facilities to provide pharmacy infrastructure solutions and telepharmacy services to optimize clinical pharmacy. With the migration to Amazon Web Services, PipelineRx has significantly raised the security and scalability of its networked, cloud-based platform, PowerGridRx™ and established a foundation for delivering additional solutions and services.

At this year's Midyear meeting, PipelineRx will be featuring its most recent clinical offering to facilitate adherence to the patient's medication regimen as they transition from the hospital to the home or extended care environment. Through a collaboration with Swisslog Healthcare, which made a strategic investment in PipelineRx earlier this year, the Company has developed a new software module that makes it easier for pharmacists to focus on the highest risk patients.  The Discharge Management module includes post-discharge video counseling to ensure coordination of care for medication lists and doses, with the aim of preventing avoidable hospital readmissions.

"Together, Swisslog Healthcare and PipelineRx are transforming clinical pharmacy by enabling technology-connected pharmacists on a daily basis," said Stephan Sonderegger, CEO of Swisslog Healthcare.

Through its migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS), PipelineRx has eliminated the need to purchase and maintain hardware, and can ensure fast implementation on an elastically scalable HIPAA-compliant infrastructure.  It is encouraging hospitals to join in through its 'Get on the Grid' campaign. When tapped into the PowerGridRx network, hospitals can centralize and optimize their pharmacy resources, easily add the solutions that they need, and access on-demand telepharmacist coverage as needed, allowing for smarter allocation of pharmacy resources and significant labor savings and efficiencies.

The Company will also promote awareness of the value of telepharmacy through three poster presentations, one from researchers within the Company and two with valued customers.

• Identifies and reinforces the role and function of the pharmacy support staff in a nation-wide telepharmacy service model.

"After a year of exciting partnerships, we're happy to return to ASHP to further showcase how our pharmacy platform and solutions can greatly impact the quality of care in hospitals," said Brian Roberts, PipelineRx CEO. "Our cloud-based modules have proven to be a flexible and secure way for hospitals of all sizes to successfully deploy pharmacy technology and services, optimizing efficiency and effectiveness. Our clients love the convenience and stability of our scalable solutions as we look towards future advancements in pharmacy technology."

PipelineRx will be providing demonstrations of its pharmacy technology in Swisslog Healthcare Booth #1251 and McKesson Booth #1241. In 2015, McKesson made a strategic investment in the Company. Please contact [email protected] to set up an appointment.
