Mirixa Debuts New Clinical Technology Solutions For Enhancing Patient Care

Mirixa Corporation, a leading developer of innovative clinical solutions that facilitate pharmacist-based patient care services, recently announced the immediate availability of version 2.2 of the MirixaPro product suite (MirixaPro 2.2). With this latest release of MirixaPro, pharmacies nationwide have fingertip access to an enhanced array of clinical care management tools that streamline pharmacy-based delivery of targeted patient care services including medication therapy management (MTM), medication adherence and disease management.

Leveraging Mirixa's technology, pharmacists have delivered tens of thousands of targeted MTM patient interventions, resolved thousands of alerts indicating potential safety issues and worked actively with patients and physicians to improve medication-related care. Qualifying patient cases are delivered directly and securely to the pharmacist, along with the patient's medication history. MirixaPro's workflow system supports delivery of multiple interventions through a single Web-based interface.

"Medication non-adherence and inadequate medication management is nothing short of a national epidemic," says Eric Zimmerman, Chief Innovation Officer and General Manager of Mirixa Clinical. "About 50% of patients with chronic conditions do not take their medications correctly -- we can and must do far better. At Mirixa, we're convinced the solution starts by levering the 'triangle of trust' between patients, physicians and pharmacists.

"MirixaPro makes collaboration easier by using data to pinpoint care improvement opportunities, monitor progress, and speed the flow of information across a secure network of care. The results so far are encouraging -- every day we hear from pharmacists using our technologies to collaborate with physicians to close gaps in care, resolve safety risks, and help consumers become confident and successful in managing their health," added Zimmerman.
