ACORx Pharmacy - Pharmacy Made Easy
36
“50% of Americans on five or more medications are not taking their medications as prescribed. This costs the heath industry over billions of dollars a year and can cause negative health outcomes or increased hospital admissions.” ACORx Pharmacy has the answers. By using a packaging system that is free to all ACORx Pharmacy’s patients, all of a patient’s medications, vitamins, and daily supplements can be packaged into one convenient package. The Medication Adherence Packages (MAPs) are sorted by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime dosing for every day of the week. ACORx (Adherence and Compliance Optimized) is a new kind of pharmacy dedicated to improving patient outcomes through enhanced medication compliance. The Medication Adherence Packages (MAPs) are filled at ACORx Pharmacy in Carnegie, PA, then hand delivered free of charge to patients’ homes by a member of ACORx’s team who knows both the patient and caregiver. Trained pharmacists review medication regimens monthly for safety and effectiveness and are in contact with all providers to ensure accurate, upto-date patient records. ACORx Pharmacy’s Medication Adherence Packaging (MAP) clearly organizes multiple medications in an easy-to-follow format, providing
instant visual reinforcement of what medications to take and when. Simply stated, the patient’s focus is only to take that day’s morning, afternoon, evening, or bedtime presorted medications. Five Reasons Why to Use ACORx Pharmacy: 1. ACORx fills, and accurately triple checks each pack, eliminating possibility of patient or caregiver errors. 2. No more trying to reach your doctors. ACORx calls and manages refills for the patient. 3. OTCs, supplements, and prescription medications can all be included. (Inhalers, Creams, Ointments, Insulins, etc) 4. Personally delivered to patients in Western PA at no charge. No more waiting in line or having someone pick up medications. 5. No additional costs to patients beyond regular co-pays.
