OnePoint Patient Care is bringing its high-touch, local hospice pharmacy services to Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Nashville, Pittsburgh and all of Hawaii, offering a unique opportunity to better meet the needs of hospice patients in these communities.
OnePoint is the only hospice-PBM with the ability to control every aspect of the pharmacy experience, due to its integrated PBM and local hospice pharmacy model. OnePoint's partnership with PharMerica supports this robust national expansion of its popular pharmacy model, which provides same-day and STAT delivery, 24/7 access to clinical consults, and capabilities from specialty infusion to custom compounding.
"Our customer-centric approach, along with our enhanced local capabilities and cost-effective pricing, enables our hospice partners to serve their patients even more efficiently and compassionately," said Jeffrey Hohl, OnePoint CEO. "Leveraging PharMerica's nationwide network of more than 160 pharmacies helps us accelerate the establishment of local hospice pharmacies, enabling us to serve new markets of all sizes."
PharMerica President Robert Dries said, "We're pleased to have the opportunity to partner with OnePoint to meet the growing demand for its industry-leading, patient-centric local hospice pharmacy and PBM model. Together, we share a deep commitment to providing superior end-of-life care."
OnePoint's experienced pharmacists specialize in hospice care, providing knowledgeable clinical guidance and therapeutic recommendations whenever needed - day or night. In addition, the OneConnectPoint® medication management application makes patient medication fulfillment and e-prescribing easier than ever for busy hospice clinicians on the go.
