RxHub, Zynchros partner to promote e-prescribing

SEATTLE RxHub and Zynchros have joined together to promote automation and to help the effort to improve the exchange of formulary data for health care payers. The companies Formulary Data Quality Initiative accelerates the adoption of e-prescribing and delivers significant improvements in the accuracy and consistency of formulary data within the electronic prescribing process.

The system allows for loading and updating of formulary status lists and coverage lists and supports lists including: age limits, drug exclusion, gender limits, medical necessity, prior authorization, quantity limits, step medication, step therapy and text messages.

“This initiative is closing the e-prescribing loop between health plans, providers, pharmacies and adjudicators,” commented Marc Lilly, chief executive officer of Zynchros. “By ensuring the quality and transportability of accurate formulary data among all constituents RxHub and Zynchros are helping our health plan and PBM customers to drive better outcomes and greater compliance by accelerating and improving the adoption and deployment of their e-prescribing programs.”
