iReminder Participates in Kaiser Permanente Medication Adherence Grand Rounds Summit
Compliance for Life™ Selected to Exhibit and Demonstrate Scalable Solution
for
Medication Non-Compliance
WESTFIELD, NJ [November 10, 2009] –After a three year study of medication adherence programs,
Kaiser Permanente invited iReminder to participate in its Medication Adherence Grand Rounds Summit, at the Sidney R. Garfield Health Care Innovation Center in San Leandro CA.
One of only six companies invited, iReminder presented its Compliance for Life™ adherence solution to Kaiser Permanente’s medical leadership. Kaiser Permanente participants
included representatives from internal medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health,
nursing and patient care services. There also were staff members from the following
groups: Permanente Medical Group, National Risk and Quality, Interregional
Medication Safety, Care Management Institute, and Information Technology.
Compliance for Life is a medication dosing and behavioral
intervention tool. With Compliance for Life medical
providers can assess their patients’ compliance scores, quickly identify
patients most at risk for non-compliance and provide automated – yet relevant
and personalized – interventions by phone, SMS text messaging and email. Patients
are supported by their personal health networks of family members or health
coaches who support their compliance needs and encourage healthy behaviors. iReminder’s coaching and
reminder services help patients manage chronic diseases, which affect over
130 million Americans and account for 70% of deaths at an annual cost of $1.3
trillion.
"We are pleased that after evaluating more than twenty programs, Kaiser Permanente
selected Compliance for Life to be featured in the Medication Adherence Grand Rounds program,” says Amy J. Yoffie, CEO of iReminder. “By providing scalable interventions that focus on a patient’s specific adherence barrier, our technology dramatically alters the medication adherence landscape.”
