Business Wire
Phreesia, the nation’s leading patient intake platform, is
pleased to announce that it has acquired two web-based workflow
applications co-developed by Geisinger, a large health system based
in Danville, Pa., and Merck, known as MSD outside of the USA and
Canada. The newly acquired applications are designed to help
improve patient communication and care delivery.
The Family Caregiver application facilitates two-way
communications and coordination of care for oncology patients and
their caregivers. The other application, MedTrue™, integrates
different medication data sources to assist with medication
reconciliation and adherence, resulting in a patient- and
healthcare team-verified medication list.
“Phreesia supports technologies that engage patients in their
care and improve health outcomes,” said Phreesia’s CEO Chaim Indig.
“Acquiring these applications that were co-developed by Merck and
Geisinger helps support our mission of creating a better healthcare
experience.”
The applications are embedded directly within the electronic
health record (EHR) and the healthcare provider’s workflow to
enhance the use of clinical and patient-reported data during
patient appointments. Patients can access both applications from
the convenience of home and the Family Caregiver Application is
also available to family caregivers.
“At Geisinger’s Steele Institute for Health Innovation, our
mission is to build solutions that improve health, the patient
experience, care delivery and affordability,” said Karen Murphy,
Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer at
Geisinger. “Seeing the opportunity for the Family Caregiver and
MedTrue applications to fulfill this mission is a source of great
pride.”
“This agreement represents the culmination of a long and
productive collaboration between the Merck and Geisinger team.
Merck is excited that our collaboration with Geisinger yielded
these two applications that will be incorporated into Phreesia’s
offerings,” said Kathryn Hayward, Vice President of Strategy and
Commercial Operations – U.S. Market, Merck.
