ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY

Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired and heavy legs. It may or may not be associated with varicose veins, spider veins or skin changes including venous ulcerations and indiscriminately affects between 30–40 million Americans. Numerous factors including age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics or a history of DVT (blood clots) can increase the risk of developing this common and often underdiagnosed disorder. Treatment options have evolved to an array of minimally invasive procedures in an office setting.

Troy Trygstad, Executive Director, CPESN USA mentions, “CPESN USA continues to seek and connect with intelligent and innovative ehealth technologies that help payers, partners and patients alike realize the value of the local pharmacy down the street. This is why we built the Directory Services Program and are happy to have our first participant with AZOVA. AZOVA’s clinical care platform enables a searchable marketplace directory of ehealth and in pharmacy clinical services through a single patient and provider-facing interface. AZOVA is aligned with our longer-term goal of transforming the mindset of payers and the public alike about the enormous potential of community-based pharmacy practice. CPESN pharmacies are more than just dispensaries, they are service providers and care managers.” Trygstad adds, “Now pharmacists can promote their clinical programs online and gain better access to their patients while collaborating with the care team to increase participation rates in care-driven programs. Central to the CPESN culture is to work hand-in-hand with our physician and other care team partners and not around them. AZOVA’s platform is collaborative and inclusive and that is a big factor in considering whom we work with to help market CPESN pharmacy services.”

Ashton Maaraba, AZOVA, SVP Sales and Operations, states, “AZOVA aims to support CPESN pharmacies in the promotion of their clinical services while enabling HIPAA secure collection, documentation and sharing of clinical data with providers, payers, and caregivers while also fully engaging the patient and providing end-to-end billing services to our clients. We wholeheartedly look forward to advancing CPESN USA’s steadfast mission and adoption of the eCare Plan. This further validates pharmacists’ critical role as forward-thinking providers in touch with the importance of utilizing effective digital health care tools and resources to help improve patient health outcomes.”

Cheryl Lee Eberting, MD, founder and CEO of AZOVA said, “Capturing clinical data from services that were delivered directly from AZOVA’s Digital Health Platform and now making it available in real time to the payer is a new service that AZOVA provides. This enables CPESN pharmacies to demonstrate the ROI for their clinical services and to contract directly with payers to deliver collaborative value-based care programs like pharmacogenomics consultations, on-demand e-medication reconciliation, opioid, diabetes and hypertension medication management. It also helps to reduce drug abandonment rates and control chronic disease leading to a lift in patient healthcare outcomes.
