TRHC to Provide Innovative Medication Risk Mitigation Technology to National Provider Group

Press Releases | Mar 20, 2018

MOORESTOWN, N.J., March 20, 2018 — Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (NASDAQ:TRHC), a healthcare technology company optimizing medication safety by deploying new medication risk mitigation digital software solutions and novel, proprietary medication decision support tools, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with a national provider group to deliver Medication Risk Mitigation (“MRM”) technology and services that will enable a more personalized approach to prescribing for their patients medication regimen, involving personalizing medication selection, dosage levels, time-of-day administration and reducing the total medication burden by eliminating unnecessary prescriptions.

Avoidable adverse drug events caused by dangerous drug interactions and the imprecise use of prescriptions are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. TRHC’s MRM technology identifies patients’ risk for multi-drug interactions before they occur, helping physicians make safer prescribing choices, including the best time of day for patients to take each medicine to avoid potential harm.

TRHC will offer the provider group MRM services that include a Medication Safety Review—that utilizes TRHC’s proprietary MedWise Advisor® platform which analyzes simultaneous, accumulative, multi-drug interactions. It also includes the option for pharmacogenomics analysis which allows prescribers to understand how a patient’s genes affect their response to medications.

“This marks the first time that our MRM services will be offered directly to private-practice physicians, giving them access to the only technology that can quickly identify multi-drug risk,” said Calvin Knowlton, PhD, CEO and Founder of Tabula Rasa Healthcare. “Our technology enables physicians to conduct a thorough review of a patient’s medication regimen and easily make adjustments to optimize health and safety, and enhance care.”

TRHC works with major health plans, providers and PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) throughout the country and was named by Rock Health as the best performing IPO among digital health companies in 2017.
