ExactCare Partners with CarePort to Offer Patients More Effective Post-Hospital Prescription Management

April 22, 2021 – ExactCare, a national healthcare services company and pharmacy provider and a CarepathRx company, announced a partnership with CarePort®, powered by WellSky®, a market leader in care transitions. This partnership equips hospitals and health systems with high-touch, comprehensive medication management and pharmacy care services for high-risk patients with complex needs and chronic conditions through transitions of care and into their homes. By connecting to ExactCare, CarePort’s hospital clients can better serve chronically ill patients through more coordinated medication management, ultimately achieving better patient health and improved clinical and economic outcomes.

“Following a patient’s hospitalization, pharmacy services—a critical component in simplifying medication regimens and improving medication adherence post-discharge—are often overlooked,” said ExactCare CEO and President Dale Wollschleger, R.Ph. “What makes our partnership with CarePort so exciting is that it offers hospitals the potential to achieve readmissions reduction and improved patient outcomes by conducting patient follow-ups, synchronized medication refills, and monthly medication reviews conducted by a clinical pharmacist.”

Hospital discharge planners and case managers responsible for patient transitions can now determine whether a patient is eligible for ExactCare’s medication management services directly within CarePort Care Management during the discharge planning process. With the new “medication management” category within Care Management, discharge planners and case managers can coordinate patient engagement and secure data exchange with ExactCare, including medication information and personalized patient care plans.

“As CarePort continues to find new ways to improve care coordination across the continuum, we look forward to powering data-driven collaboration amongst care teams using ExactCare’s comprehensive pharmacy services,” said Dr. Lissy Hu, CEO and founder of CarePort. “By coordinating a patient’s pharmacy care post-discharge, our clients are taking another critical step toward preventing costly acute and post-acute readmissions, all while improving patient outcomes.”

ExactCare is designed specifically for patients with complex needs, typically those who take a variety of prescription medications to manage several chronic conditions. Low medication adherence, coordination challenges among multiple prescribers and a lack of post-discharge pharmacy services result in a higher likelihood of hospital readmissions. ExactCare is uniquely positioned to help hospitals and health systems reduce readmissions and emergency department visits, prevent prescription leakage, and enhance success in value-based contracts—leading to decreased total cost of care and improved patient outcomes.
