Tool aims to improve Rx adherence using texts, other reminders

A new tool aims to help retail, mail-order, and specialty pharmacies improve prescription medication adherence. The Varolii Adherence Outreach solution from Varolii Corporation enables delivery of automated, HIPAA-compliant communication to patients by phone, text messages, or e-mail. According to the company, pharmacies that are already using Varolii Adherence Outreach have seen an overall 10%–20% increase in refill efficiency for treated therapeutic classes, an 18% enrollment lift into auto-fill programs, and a doubling of prescription refill rates among patients enrolled in the program versus those who were not.
