Manage Adherence for Large Populations of PatientsHealth coaches use online dashboards to remotely monitor medication adherence for large populations of patients. At a glance, coaches can see who is on track and who requires extra support.
Coaches can view patients’ adherence to their plans in real time, easily identifying missed dosages. They can securely exchange messages with their patients and provide encouragement or advice when needed.
Inform and Engage Patients The personalized wellness plan provides patients and their advocates with lay language dosage instructions and medication schedules. Patients can also access a health library of trusted content to learn more about their condition and the medications they are taking. If patients have any questions, they can exchange secure messages with their healthcare professional.
Promote Adherence with Smart Reminders Mobile reminders let patients know what medications to take, as well as when and how to take them. Patients can easily track that they have taken their medication and share this information with anyone in their circle of care.
Ensure Timely Refills to Prevent Missed Doses With built-in refill reminders, patients can be alerted when their medications run low. Refill requests can be automatically sent to the pharmacy, ensuring patients always have a ready supply of medications.
Provide Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Services Providers who are caring for seniors or other clinically complex patients will find NexJ Health Coach to be an ideal tool for delivering MTM services. Providing these added services may qualify for additional revenue from various insurance plans as part of MTM services.
