At BetterRX, we play a vital role in the hospice pharmacy community by providing technology tools that help enhance patient care, optimize costs, and streamline workflows. Our user-friendly technology simplifies medication ordering, helps to reduce pharmacy spend, and prioritizes the well-being of healthcare professionals and patients. In this blog, we will share the inspiring story of one of our valued hospice partners who recently joined us and has since experienced significant operational improvements.
Before BetterRX: The Search for Integration and Cost Reduction
The hospice agency urgently needed a comprehensive ePrescribing solution that could be integrated seamlessly into their existing EMR software. The lack of technology and visibility into medication changes greatly impacted their ability to control costs effectively while ensuring their patients received the highest quality of care.
The Transition to BetterRX: Embracing Innovation to Tackle Challenges
After reviewing this hospice's current situation, it was clear that BetterRX's innovative technology, including our robust, bi-directional EMR integration with MatrixCare, was exactly what this hospice needed to streamline their operations and reduce redundancies. With the introduction of our system, our hospice customer truly experienced a transformation in how medications were prescribed, managed, and integrated into their patient's records.
Striking Results: Significant Cost Savings and Elevated Care
With dedicated quarterly meetings and strategic implementation of our medication ordering recommendations, our hospice partner successfully reduced their per-patient-day (PPD) cost from $8.04 to an impressive $6.09, all within just a few months. This nearly $2.00 reduction, coupled with our clinical education, has made an invaluable impact on their team.
"Our technology has not only provided ease of use for prescribers but also maximized our customers’ ability to enter medications that sync flawlessly with MatrixCare," said a BetterRX representative. "The real-time data from our comprehensive reporting suite empowers hospice partners to make informed decisions, furthering cost control and patient care quality."
Echoed by Client Sentiments
"Our hospice could not be more satisfied. We absolutely love BetterRX’s technology. The ease of use for our prescribers to e-Prescribe directly within the system—versus utilizing a separate system—is remarkable. We greatly value the educational materials and the reporting suite that offers us real-time data,'" states our hospice customer.
