Sync or Sink: An Insider’s Guide to Successful Synchronization

Lack of patient adherence is a struggle for many pharmacies that rely on dispensing medication to improve their customers’ health and keep the lifeline of scripts flowing. But there are ways to flip the tables on the conventional dispensing model and build a reliable return.

If you attended PDS 2017, you may remember a presentation from PDS Member, Jason Turner, about the substantial benefits of implementing a synchronization program for both patient and pharmacy. The program he presented will significantly impact adherence to deliver better care and help with the CMS Star Ratings system.

Jason recognized a need for enhancements when he noticed that with his existing SyncRx program, he saw significant improvement in adherence quality measures but only saw limited improvement in ACE/ARB and high-risk medication quality measures, which are core components currently in the Star Rating System.

He responded by creating an add-on to the SyncRx program that enables a quarterly Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) for each SyncRx patient. This identifies intervention opportunities and creates better patient outcomes all while developing the clinical abilities of the pharmacy team.

Today, he is the leader and developer of PDS’ SyncRx+ Program and activist in patient care and outcomes. His MTM-focused enhancement to SyncRx into a full-blown, turnkey SyncRx+ program is available to any pharmacy who is interested in implementing this successful service.
