Packaging solution providers MeadWestvaco (MWV) have launched a software-based solution Avive Multimed system which offers multiple benefits like medication regimens syncronisation, adherence improvement and medication therapy management.
The software was developed by MWV Healthcare and its partner LTCPCMS, with the aim of reducing the complexities of poly-pharmacy.
The software comes with features like customized regimens with multiple patient pack systems, customized hours of administration (HOAs) and universal medication schedules (UMS). It also drives data transfer of simplified labeling and regimen calendars to pharmacy printer and automation equipment.
The Avive Multimed system also provides a methodology for prescription synchronization and checks for multi-med drug regimen compatibility. The product can be used in retail pharmacy, mail order, call center and PBM environments and is available for non-exclusive licensing to potential partners.
MWV senior director, Healthcare Innovation & EU Adherence Tom Grinnan said: "We have successfully used the Avive solution in a test environment for nearly two years on a very adherence-challenged patient population with multiple chronic diseases.
"The data has shown that Avive is distinctly successful in achieving a full pharmacy home and improving refill rates. We are now ready to license this unique program to pharmacy partners, developers and PBMs."
The company claims that the product will address the needs of people suffering from co-morbidities in the US.
According to MeadWestvaco, research shows that the synchronization of these medications with one pharmacy home can improve the patient's experience and also reduce health-related expenses drastically.
