The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor
excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a
range of health and medical technology categories, including
robotics, clinical administration, telehealth, patient engagement,
electronic health records, mHealth, medical devices and medical
data.
Humana, recognized for its digital tool, RxMentor, was awarded
the “Best Overall mHealth Solution” for creating a tool that
enables its members to more easily maintain a list of medications
in one place, ultimately helping its members improve medication
management, safety and clinical outcomes. The highlight of the tool
is that it pulls from claims data for the past 180 days, as well as
prompts members who qualify, to schedule a complimentary one-on-one
consultation with a Humana pharmacist to conduct a medication
review.
“Winning this award showcases that we are helping our members
achieve their best health. Medicare populations tend to be older,
live with multiple chronic conditions, and tend to take multiple
medications, which can make it challenging to take medications
safely and as prescribed,” said Labeed Diab, RPh., president of
Humana Pharmacy Solutions. “RxMentor helps our Humana members keep
a single list of their medications – both prescription and
over-the-counter – in a convenient, easy-to-access location and
allows them to share it with physicians, care teams and caregivers
as they engage in the member’s care.”
Developed in partnership with Humana Pharmacy Solutions,
Transcend Insights was awarded the “Best Overall Healthcare Data
Analytics Platform” for its IntelligentRx/Anvita Engine analytics
technology. This solution was created to provide clinicians with
real-time insights at the point of prescribing and at the point of
sale to minimize adverse drug events, improve care experiences and
lower costs for patients and organizations.
“Together, with Transcend Insights, we set out to develop an
analytics engine capable of providing real-time clinical decision
support for prescription drug benefits. This was the goal, and what
Transcend Insights helped us to attain,” said Scott Greenwell,
Pharm.D., vice president of clinical operations at Humana Pharmacy
Solutions. “For the first time, Humana Pharmacy Solutions is able
to support its prescription decision making with real-time,
population-wide analytics to help reduce a patient’s risk, remove
unnecessary costs, improve the care experience and as a result, a
patient’s health outcomes.”
“Transcend Insights’ Anvita Engine has been powering quality,
utilization and safety analytics for Humana’s membership since
2009,” said Marc Willard, president of Transcend Insights. “Since
then, we have continued to support Humana’s vision of empowering
lifelong well-being by delivering a cloud-based platform that
provides an open and scalable foundation to support expanding
population health data and analytics demands.”
This year’s MedTech Breakthrough Awards attracted more than
3,000 nominations from more than 12 different countries around the
world.
"We are thrilled to recognize Humana and Transcend Insights for
not only their technology and innovation, but also their industry
leadership and break through contributions to the health and
medical technology market," said James Johnson, managing director
at MedTech Breakthrough. "With significant contributions in the
areas of mobile health and health care data analytics, Humana
and Transcend Insights are delivering powerful solutions that have
displayed a real-world impact on improving care team workflows and
patient care. Congratulations to Humana and Transcend Insights on
their well-deserved industry recognition with our 2018 MedTech
Breakthrough Awards program."
