MatrixCare Signs National Agreement with PharMerica for NCPDP Bidirectional and Pharmacy-Centric Order Integration
Integration greatly expands MatrixCare’s national pharmacy coverage
The agreement covers NCPDP Bidirectional ePrescribing with all MatrixCare customer facilities as well as pharmacy-centric order entry (PCOE) integration with MatrixCare’s CareAssist platform, which combines eMAR and point-of-care functionality to help streamline workflows and documentation for frontline caregivers in skilled nursing, assisted living and senior living communities.
This agreement allows MatrixCare to communicate with PharMerica’s proprietary AS400 software in multiple configurations: NCPDP Bidirectional (“facility centric”) and PCOE (“pharmacy centric”) workflows. With these real-time integrations, MatrixCare decreases data-entry time and improves medication order accuracy, increases caregiver efficiency, and enhances medication safety for communities.
“Effective medication management has always been an important part of providing high-quality care to seniors. But with the advent of patient-driven payment models, this type of integration becomes critical,” said MatrixCare’s President & CEO John Damgaard. “MatrixCare’s eMAR functionality with real-time facility-centric or pharmacy-centric order entry with PharMerica will significantly improve the efficiency of caregivers while reducing medication-related errors. We are excited to finalize this agreement with PharMerica and are pleased to add them to our roster of national, in-network pharmacies.”
