Particle Health Earns Certification for Surescripts Medication History for Populations
Particle Health, a leading intelligent data platform that aggregates and delivers actionable patient insights to healthcare organizations, has announced the successful completion of its certification for Surescripts Medication History for Populations.
Particle Health, an innovative data platform dedicated to improving healthcare through actionable patient insights, has successfully completed its certification for Surescripts Medication History for Populations. This development marks an important milestone for the company, enabling it to provide health systems, hospitals, accountable care organizations (ACOs), and health plans with advanced capabilities in managing cost-effective care for patient populations.
Surescripts Medication History for Populations provides healthcare providers access to up-to-date medication lists for patients, alongside proactive prescription notifications. This service gives healthcare organizations a clearer view of whether patients are filling their prescriptions as prescribed and taking medications on time. With these insights, providers are better equipped to detect early signs of non-adherence and intervene promptly, helping to avoid complications such as unnecessary hospitalizations or disease progression.
“For many of us, medications are the most frequent way we interact with the healthcare system,” said Jason Prestinario, CEO of Particle Health. “By enabling care providers to access clinical insights that give them a more complete picture of a patient’s care experience, we are helping improve medication adherence. This ultimately equips healthcare providers to offer better support, enhance treatment efficacy, and ensure positive health outcomes for their patients.”
Medication adherence is crucial for patient safety, particularly for vulnerable populations. Particle Health’s certification for Surescripts Medication History for Populations allows its customers to retrieve current and comprehensive data on patients’ medication histories, making it easier to identify gaps in care through panel management and prescription notifications. The service integrates prescription data from nearly all major pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers, giving clinicians the tools they need to identify patients at risk for non-adherence, adverse drug events (ADEs), or potential medication misuse. With this, providers can better triage patients by risk level, enhancing quality improvement efforts and patient care.
“We’re thrilled to see Particle Health leverage our Medication History for Populations solution to enhance medication adherence efforts,” said Matt Hartzler, Director of Product Innovation at Surescripts. “This service provides a comprehensive view of patients’ medication history, which helps pinpoint opportunities to improve adherence, close care gaps, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.”
According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, non-adherence to medication regimens is responsible for up to 50% of treatment failures and as much as 25% of hospitalizations in the United States each year. Medication adherence is particularly important for chronic disease patients, as adherence rates for chronic condition medications are estimated to be around 50%.
