MERCER ISLAND, Wash., January 19, 2021 – CarepathRx, a leader in pharmacy and medication management solutions, announced today the formation of a pharmacy care partnership to fully integrate the pharmacy operations of Knox Community Hospital (KCH). This multi-year agreement will expand patient access to innovative specialty medications, hospital home infusion, 340B pharmacy, and long-term pharmacy in the home, all supported by CarepathRx’s proprietary technology platform.
To meet the unique needs of patients that require home infusion, specialty therapies, and/or have chronic pharmacy needs, this partnership will help expand KCH’s pharmacy capabilities and clinical support services to optimize patient care. “We are very excited about this partnership,” said Keith Crawford, Chief Strategy Officer at CarepathRx. “Our end-to-end, integrated pharmacy solutions will allow KCH to connect pharmacy to the discharge process through our Transition of Care platform, build the capabilities to provide and administer home infusion, and optimize their 340B program through our technology and contract pharmacy services. These new competencies will help KCH advance patient continuity of care and improve their hospital financial performance.”
