Defining Key Metrics
Understanding and effectively managing pharmacy reporting metrics can be a daunting task for any hospice administration team. With our easy to read pharmacy benefit standard reports we provide comprehensive breakdowns of each key metric we believe brings the most value for making informed decisions that impact overall cost. This includes in-depth utilization data to track performance and efficiency on the patient, prescriber, and diagnoses level. Our clinical teams will help your staff extract the maximum value out of having this data readily available.
Through experience, our clinical team has found that the following key metrics are essential for running an efficient and cost effective pharmacy program. Each of the following metrics are delivered to our clients with 100% transparency.

Benchmark Pharmacy Performance & Establish Better Trends
Every month our hospice’s receive a comprehensive pharmacy benefit executive summary with detailed analysis of benchmarked key performance indicators. Our clinical team dedicates valuable time to help each hospice broaden their understanding of KPI’s in every report, and guide clinicians and administrative staff towards a “best practice” path. Ultimately our goal is to empower you to fine-tune your utilization and increase clinical and financial performance. The availability of this powerful and accurate data assists in making informed decisions about overall prescribing approach, and identifies areas for improvement on cost or effectiveness for your patients.

Pharmacist Medication Reviews
The current Conditions of Participation required by CMS state that a comprehensive medication review must be completed by a pharmacist for each new admission into your hospice program. These comprehensive reviews can be completed by our clinical pharmacist team within the allowable time frame. Each of our pharmacists have been trained to give a thorough review of all patient’s prescription, over-the-counter medications, and other alternative treatments that could affect medication therapy. Our pharmacists will help you identify medication effectiveness, side effects, actual or potential drug interactions, and duplicate drug therapy scenarios.
Medication review notifications for our clinicians can be automated to send alerts for any medication profiles pending review. This strengthens workflow efficiency and removes the need for your staff to manually alert our clinical team.
24/7 Clinical Resources
All of our hospice clients receive unrestricted access to a dedicated 24/7/365 clinical support line. Collaborate directly with one of our experienced clinical team members in seconds.

Building Smarter Workflows.
Manage Data Around the Patient - In Real Time
It has become increasingly vital to coordinate patient care across all settings in order to provide care that is safe, timely, and effective. We believe that the most efficient way for hospice to make the largest positive impact on their care coordination is to effectively leverage the connectivity between their clinical systems and their PBM platform. This technology plays an important role in enhancing patient care and creating operating efficiencies, allowing for more integrated, secure, and consistent workflows with noticeable reductions in inefficient workflows and clinical mistakes.
Wise Hospice Options has spent years building and refining the technology that enable seamless and secure data integrations between your electronic health record and our PBM platform. Our platform is designed to optimize workflows in the clinical environment so that your clinical staff don’t get bogged down by barriers to care.
