Lawrence Margolis is the CEO of PersonalRX, which is changing the model for how pharmacies provide prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs and advice about usage. With a personal care coordinator, PersonalRX provides each patient with a personalized experience that ensures prompt delivery of drugs, reminders to take those medications, and alerts to possible negative drug interactions.
Lawrence explains, "We send out a 30-day supply. We send that 30-day supply out ahead of time so that we never want anybody to worry 'where's my medicine?' If they do, then we failed our job, frankly. So we get it there a few days before they're going to need it."
"When we package medication, we package them in individual dose packs. Everybody gets packs in a roll that are marked breakfast, lunch, dinner, or time of day, 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 5:00 PM, bedtime. So when somebody is looking at their pack, if they see that breakfast is still there at noon, they clearly did not take their medication. So it keeps them on track a whole lot more. It's like those pill boxes that everybody has where it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or various times of the day."
"The difference with adherence is that you have to make sure people are packing them correctly. Most people don't. They typically make a mistake. I believe if you look behind anybody's dresser, you're going to see some pills behind their dresser or on the floor that they missed. I think adherence is an important factor and an advantage to having a medication dose pack. Reminding them to take them and that it's time to take their breakfast medication is a help. But in terms of adherence, knowing that you took the medication or seeing that you skipped it is a very important aspect."
