Managed Health Care launches new home infusion pharmacy
Managed Health Care Associates (MHA), a healthcare services and software company in Chicago, has released its new Home Infusion Pharmacy, which will help home infusion pharmacy customers compete in a value-based reimbursement market.
MHS partnered with Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP), a data analytics provider based in Barbara, California, to develop the system, which provides access to benchmarking and real-time data to help treat patients. It responds to growing patient populations and alternate payment models.
"SHP is recognized as the absolute leader in the home health and hospice benchmarking and data analytics space, and this new home infusion solution will contain the same type of industry leading analytics,” said MHA President Michael J. Sicilian in a statement. “As the industry evolves in the new quality based reimbursement environment, home infusion providers are going to need very unique and detailed data to demonstrate their value. This new product will be an important component in showing that value.”
The product will be able to capture daily trends and insights from clinical, financial, demographic and utilization data.
"We are confident that these new reports and analytics will help Home Infusion providers to more effectively use their data to improve performance just as our other solutions do in the Home Health and Hospice markets,” said SHP President Rob Paulsson in a statement.
