MOORESTOWN, N.J. and Fort Worth, TX, July, 9 2019—Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (NASDAQ: TRHC), a leading provider of technology-enabled solutions to mitigate medication risk, reduce medical costs, and optimize client performance, today announced it has signed two agreements to collaborate with CQuentia. CQuentia is a comprehensive analytics platform for personalized medicine, integrating genetic test results with scientific and clinical action. The collaboration will bring a robust suite of cutting-edge pharmacogenomics services and biometric wearable products to patients and providers.
“CQuentia has selected TRHC’s MedWise™ as its preferred method for delivering pharmacogenomics (PGx) lab results back to ordering physicians,” said CQuentia CEO Alan Meeker. “Unlike traditional drug-gene pair analysis, which marginalizes the potential impact of PGx, MedWise uses PGx data to inform precision across a patient’s entire medication regimen. CQuentia has determined that TRHC’s unique and valuable approach to incorporating PGx lab data into medication safety analysis makes TRHC the ideal partner to present PGx lab results to its clients.”
TRHC is establishing Application Programming Interfaces “APIs” with CQuentia to receive PGx data directly from CQuentia’s Memphis lab. Thereafter, CQuentia will encourage its clients to license MedWise as a seamless way of making the most of their PGx testing. In addition, under this agreement, TRHC has contracted to secure two proprietary PGx lab panel assays from CQuentia, one for TRHC’s clinical work with patients and one to support the continued research and development of TRHC’s proprietary MRM sciences at its Lake Nona, Florida R&D center.
“After extensive research and analysis, TRHC determined that CQuentia’s PGx laboratory capabilities far exceed other leading labs in the market,” stated TRHC Chairman and CEO Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD. “CQuentia’s is now TRHC’s preferred PGx Lab partner. We are excited to support patients who have had their PGx data provided by CQuentia, and are interested in optimizing their medication regimens. Through the use of our MedWise Medication Risk Mitigation technology and MedWise Advisor® certified pharmacists, patients can experience precision pharmacotherapy to optimize their medication regimens and assure their safety. Finally, the collaboration provides access for TRHC clients to leverage CQuentia’s biometric wearable products which help inform and further overall medication safety.”
