Particle Health, a leading intelligent data platform that aggregates and delivers actionable patient insights to healthcare companies, today announced it has completed certification for Surescripts Medication History for Populations.

Medication History for Populations helps health systems, hospitals, accountable care organizations and health plans manage cost-effective care for patient populations by providing access to medication history and proactive prescription notifications. With this new service, Particle Health customers will have access to up-to-date medication lists for patients, as well as insights to understand whether patients are filling their prescriptions on time and as directed, allowing providers to identify early signs of non-adherence and intervene promptly to prevent complications like unnecessary hospitalizations.

“For many of us, the medications we take each day are the most frequent way we interact with the health system," said Jason Prestinario, CEO at Particle Health. “Enabling care providers with clinical insights that provide a more complete picture of a patient's overall care experience is essential to being able to improve medication adherence. As a result, providers will be better equipped to support patients with medications, promote treatment efficacy, and help their patients achieve positive outcomes.”

Medication adherence is critical for patient safety—especially for at-risk health populations. With Medication History for Populations, Particle Health customers can easily retrieve up-to-date data to spot and close gaps in care via panel management or prescription notifications. This prescription history data from nearly all major pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers helps clinicians and care providers pinpoint those at risk of nonadherence, adverse drug events (ADEs) or potential abuse—and easily triage patients and members by risk group to support quality improvements.

“We are excited about Particle Health’s use of our Medication History for Populations solution to advance medication adherence efforts,” said Matt Hartzler, Director Product Innovation, Product Commercialization at Surescripts. “Medication History for Populations brings a comprehensive view of patient medication history—helping pinpoint opportunities to improve adherence and close gaps and ultimately improve care for patients.”

According to the US National Institutes of Health, medication non-adherence can account for up to 50% of treatment failures and up to 25% of hospitalizations each year in the United States. Adherence insights are especially critical for chronically ill patient populations, as it is estimated that adherence to medications that treat chronic conditions is only around 50% (source).
