Guild & Boehringer partner
June 1, 2012
BOEHRINGER Ingelheim and
GuildCare have partnered to deliver
Australian pharmacists with a range
of new Compliance and New-to-
Therapy programs, designed to
help patients prescribed Micardia
or Twynsta.
“When selecting partnerships,
the primary consideration is
whether the two parties working
together can unite to provide
better health outcomes as
opposed to working alone, and we
believe these programs pass that
test admirably,” said Ross
Gallagher, CEO, GuildLink.
“These modules will add to the
increasing range of GuildCare
Programs provided to pharmacies
to help them to power the better
use of medicines,” he added.
The Compliance and New-To-
Therapy software Programs are
designed to help identify and alert
pharmacists (at the point of
dispensing) of patients who have
been prescribed Micardis or Twynsta.
The program then prompts the
pharmacist to document their
patient interaction, following a
structured reporting format, after
which the program will create a
handout for the patient.
Pharmacies who use the system
will receive a patient service fee
from Boehringer.
“The Compliance and New-To-
Therapy programs ensure the
patient receives advice on the
quality use of medicines if they are
prescribed the medication for the
first time, or to monitor
compliance each time the patient
submits a prescription,” said
Boehringer Ingelheim’s Business
Unit Manager, Peter Davis.
“It has long been recognised that
the pharmacist is a trusted source
of health advice in their local
community and it is good to know
our products are being dispensed
with supporting advice from a
trained healthcare professional,”
he added.
When it becomes available, the
new software will automatically be
enabled in pharmacies which have
purchased the GuildCare
Programs, and for those that have
not, more information about the
system is available by calling
1300 647 492.
