Community Pharmacists Sync to Improve Patient Results and Business OperationsDUBLIN, Ohio, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Community pharmacists can help improve medication adherence and patient outcomes while increasing efficiency for the pharmacy through a custom-built medication synchronization program, Cardinal Health MedSync Advantage™. "We've had the opportunity to look at Cardinal Health's medication synchronization product, and it's by far the best product that I've looked at," said Larry Schieber, pharmacist and owner at Schieber Family Pharmacy in Circleville, Ohio. "We can get a lot of patients enrolled in this medication synchronization program, which is really a win-win for everybody. It's a win for the patient, and it's a win for us because it evens out our workflow and helps us operate more efficiently."

The online platform was designed by Cardinal Health's innovation lab, Fuse, which connects technology with healthcare, and believes that life-changing solutions aren't just built for users, but by users. Fuse built the MedSync Advantage™ web-based solution with direct input from community pharmacists, creating a custom tool that supports easier identification of eligible patients, as well as:
