Fremont, CA: Parawell, a technology platform offered by Health in Motion Network (HIMN), provides pharmacists with comprehensive, connected data sources, including lab reports, medical records, remote monitoring devices and/or wearables as well as prescription information.
Nationally, prominent pharmacy organizations are currently using Parawell, with additional distribution and partnerships in the works. The shared vision of Ray Shealy, Chief Executive Officer, and Cathy Kuhn, President and Chief Pharmacy Officer, has been central to Parawell's roll-out strategy. Shealy and Kuhn are both recognized leaders with decades of experience in developing innovative healthcare technology solutions.
Shealy's vast expertise includes substantial involvement with healthcare information exchange and data access. About Parawell, Shealy remarks, "Parawell bridges significant gaps in the healthcare continuum, uniting data with clinical pharmacy expertise and patient needs. The combination of advanced technology and individualized clinical support is unique in the market today."
Kuhn, a practicing pharmacist as well as industry executive, continuously demonstrates her visionary perspective and is responsible for overseeing the clinical strategy for Parawell. "Pharmacists historically did not have access to patient health information beyond prescriptions. With Parawell, we empower pharmacists and patients through information access and communication," remarks Kuhn. "The improved outcomes and related cost-savings associated with care provided by pharmacists are compelling to patients and providers, as well as payers and employers."
The Parawell platform, available through the Health in Motion Network, is driving clinical pharmacy market evolution. Pharmacists, who have long been regarded as trustworthy and qualified healthcare professionals, are increasingly seen as crucial in addressing healthcare challenges such as physician shortages. Medication administration, remote patient monitoring, disease management, and other services necessitate solutions that combine digital resources with provider collaboration. These priorities are consistent with ongoing efforts to increase data sharing and interoperability, as well as payment changes to incorporate more value-based reimbursement models.
