Two Industry Leaders in Healthcare Announce Key Partnership to Raise Immunization Rates in Community Pharmacies.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ (PRUnderground) February 21st, 2017
Creative Pharmacist, the industry leader in helping community pharmacies expand the clinical services they provide to their chronically ill patients, today announces its partnership and integration with Scientific Technologies Corporation (STC). The partnership is a joint effort to improve immunization rates within the U.S. through the clinical community pharmacist.
“As pharmacists, we have an exciting obligation to improve the health in the communities we serve,” said David Pope, PharmD, CDE, Chief of Innovation and Co-Founder of Creative Pharmacist. “We are blessed to work alongside STC to highlight gaps in immunizations, particularly in rural areas, where pharmacists can make a definitive impact on patient care.” With the partnership, pharmacists now have a comprehensive view of their state immunization registry and can determine needed immunizations, in real time format, while engaging a patient in the counseling booth. The integration is displayed in Creative Pharmacist’s rapidly-growing STRAND® clinical platform.
“Impacting vaccine-preventable disease in communities relies on partnerships” says CEO Michael Popovich. “And at the community pharmacy level, immunization information sharing empowers providers to deliver accurate information and the right immunization to a patient. We are thrilled to be able to help Creative Pharmacist build on their already robust platform by including immunization histories and gaps”
