Does your health system lack the real-time data and tools to identify at-risk patients and intervene before they drop off their treatment therapies? 
 
Join us for a Fireside Chat with Magnolia Regional Health Center to learn how their team is overcoming these challenges with real-time medication data and timely, personalized messages. The result: a 19% increase in prescription fills and a 6% reduction in 30-day readmissions among patients who interacted with the messages. 

 What we covered: 

  • Why price transparency at prescribing is critical to adherence  
  • How real-time prescription data helps care teams support patients between visits  
  • The impact of personalized messaging on closing gaps and reducing readmissions  
  • How Magnolia aligned its initiative with value-based care and population health goals

“One of the biggest problems doctors have when writing a prescription is understanding if it’s covered. What’s it going to cost? Does it need a prior auth? Are there alternatives that cost less? Should it be sent elsewhere? Is it eligible for mail order? A lot of times we’re flying blind.”

“Early on, as we explored this tool, we were shocked by the vast price discrepancies for patients, even with the same insurance, simply based on the pharmacy. Integrating this solution made it clear: The question isn’t just how this tool can help us, but fundamentally, how can we truly do our jobs without this critical information?”
