Pharmaceuticals drive up to 33% of Medicare Advantage plan spend
Reduce costs for Medicaid and Medicare populations with Arcadia Vista’s Polypharmacy Dashboards — medication management for complex patients is complicated by nature: stacks of scripts call for intense oversight to keep patients safe. This problem is especially expensive for healthcare systems that work with dual-eligibility populations.
The data paints a detailed picture: almost half (47%) of Medicare ACO members are on 7+ drugs, and specialty drugs drive 33% of Medicare Advantage plan spend and 56% of commercial pharmacy spend. Further, these members can be difficult to identify.
The solution? Ascend beyond medication lists to a brand new Vista with Arcadia’s suite of polypharmacy dashboards.
Polypharmacy dashboards that streamline drug cascade interventions
Multiple medication cascades can lead to high costs (or worse) — it’s time to streamline the process of finding impacted patients, simplify care management teams’ processes, and prevent unnecessary overmedication.
Arcadia’s Vista Polypharmacy Dashboards transform this complicated issue into a straightforward process, reducing pharmaceutical costs and identifying patients on drug cascades that could be simplified. Conserve resources, boost adherence, and enable happier, healthier days.
