Cardinal Health, RxLive collaborate to enhance connectivity between providers

RxLive announced a collaboration with Outcomes, a Cardinal Health company, to improve data sharing and reduce communication gaps between hospitals, physicians and pharmacies. Hospital readmissions cost the U.S. healthcare system billions of dollars each year, and recent studies show that approximately a quarter of potentially avoidable readmissions are medication related. The collaboration between RxLive and Outcomes will address this problem by connecting data from enhanced clinic-based and post-discharge workflows, powered by My.RxLive, to the OutcomesOne platform to share relevant data on the patient’s care plan among all the providers involved in their treatment, reducing miscommunication that can lead to mismanagement of medication and harmful interactions.
