Save Mart to use MirixaEdge in employee health-and-wellness initiative

RESTON, Va. A regional supermarket chain with 244 stores in California and Nevada has selected Mirixa's Web-based clinical application for the delivery of medication therapy management services as an integral part of its employee health-and-wellness initiative.

Save Mart said MirixaEdge -- which will be deployed to Save Mart Supermarkets' 115 in-store pharmacies by May -- will encourage employees to play an active role in their medication therapy management and develop patient medication records with the help of vital information providing by the application. In addition to medication therapy management, MirixaEdge includes patient care program templates for such chronic conditions as asthma, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These templates help to guide the pharmacist through the data collection process for illnesses that typically involve multiple medications and coexisting conditions, Save Mart said.

"Our company believes that our employees are a vital company asset and their well-being is of paramount importance," said Michele Snider, executive director pharmacy at Save Mart. "We want to empower our employees and actively engage them in the management of their health and wellness. MirixaEdge will enable our pharmacists to consult directly with employees and to help them to understand why they are prescribed specific medications and why they should take the medications as prescribed."
