AscellaHealth

The AscellaHealth Family of Companies, comprised of AscellaHealth and subsidiaries Optime Care and Terebellum, is a global Healthcare and Specialty Pharmacy solutions organization serving specialty and rare disease patients, payers, life sciences manufacturers and providers with solutions addressing the unmet needs in this dynamic marketplace. A unique patient-first mission and dedication to improved medication access and outcomes are woven throughout integrated end-to-end solutions, which span the entire pharmaceutical lifecycle and beyond.

As the cost of specialty and rare disease medications continue to escalate and impact the entire U.S. healthcare system, these key cost drivers for specialty patients with chronic, complex, and/or rare conditions have prompted greater utilization of technology and patient engagement tools to strengthen the relationship between physicians, pharmacists, and patients to improve health outcomes and compliance to these prescribed therapies. With the emergence of innovative, next-generation technology solutions, healthcare professionals can collaborate more closely to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of care.

In today’s dynamic healthcare environment, offering standard health technology solutions to help track prescriptions, automate prescription refills, and organize patient records are not enough. Patient support organizations need to look beyond the basics to find health technology partners who offer a virtual digital health technology platform that provides real-time data analytics and clinical integration, focuses on improving the overall patient experience and decreasing the time-to-fill of medications.

For instance, some partners offer technology that enables pharmacies to not only automate a patient’s prescription refill history but also monitor other prescriptions filled at different pharmacies to manage side effects and interactions, thus improving the overall health and safety for the patient.

They may also offer apps that track and help manage patient reporting related to adverse events, side effects, and satisfaction with care delivered, as well as deliver patient education about specialty and rare disease states.

Many of these apps offer event notifications via emails or texts to notify patients about, for example, an upcoming doctor appointment or follow-up notes from a recent office visit. They also enable patients to ask questions about their medical condition to help clarify medication or care instructions or provide valuable information about their condition.

Other examples of technological advances in this area include: 1) automated prior authorization tools to streamline decisions and administrative burden on providers, 2) digital patient engagement tools to positively impact the clinical outcomes of specialty patients and make compliance and persistency tools more efficient and user-friendly, and 3) web-based portals integrated within health care professional and pharmacy systems to streamline communications between stakeholders and decrease time-to-fill for prescriptions to reduce abandonment rates.

These technological advancements help to ensure that patients can seamlessly receive their medications when they need them the most. Additionally, these tools strive to create a patient-first experience, generate positive outcomes, and enhance overall patient care.
