ROCHESTER, Mich., Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPRX), a leading provider of point-of-care technology solutions helping patients start and stay on therapy, announced today that it has earned Digital Health Awards’ silver award for the Company’s COVID-19 Consumer Health Communications Campaign, and a merit award for its TelaRep Clinical Decision Support Tool.
Will Febbo, OptimizeRx’s CEO, commented, “We are grateful for the industry recognition of our innovative platform technology solutions and their various applications. As a leading technology platform for the life sciences, we have built a virtual connectivity network at the point-of-care specifically to facilitate communication between healthcare stakeholders and prevent critical information gaps in the absence of face-to-face interactions. Our ability to connect manufacturers, providers, and patients throughout the care journey can meaningfully improve patient outcomes.”
OptimizeRx earned the silver award for its COVID-19 automated text messaging campaign. The campaign, implemented in response to the pandemic, delivered mobile digital health resources to communities across the U.S. The campaign leveraged OptimizeRx’s text-based patient engagement technology, which has been traditionally used for specific therapy support programs, to provide the general public with timely COVID-19 information from a reliable source. The free, interactive text-message alert program delivered COVID-19 updates sourced from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) directly to any SMS-enabled mobile device.
TelaRep’s merit award in the “Connected Digital Health: Clinical Decision Support Tools” highlights the value of the award-winning digital tool which has also been recognized as one of the most innovative products for life sciences. TelaRep is a HIPAA-compliant, secure, virtual connection that gives prescribers a “one-click” ability to reach out to the right pharma contact any time they have a need, without leaving their electronic workflow. This line of communication allows physicians to receive important support when determining the best treatment regimen for a patient. TelaRep is the only digital healthcare communications solution that allows interactive communications between HCPs and manufacturers to be initiated from within the EHR clinical workflow.
OptimizeRx continues to address the ongoing digital paradigm shift across healthcare with AI-driven digital solutions on its integrated Therapy Initiation and Persistence Platform to help patients start and stay on therapy.
