The partnership between Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health's at-home program and ExactCare, improved outcomes for chronic patients taking drugs at home.
In a study conducted by CommonSpirit Health at Home, 87 percent of patients benefited from the partnership with Exactcare. Those who are not part of the program but receive drugs from the health system reported an 82 percent improvement in medication management.
The difference is 20 percentile points, according to a Sept. 1 news release.
CommonSpirit and ExactCare, a part of CarepathRx's pharmacy delivery network, have partnered for more than two years to streamline pharmacy services and boost independence for people with complex, chronic medical needs at home.
