HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyphen, the technology company creating connected-care, has received a 2024 Points of Light Award from KLAS Research, the leading healthcare research and insights firm, for its efforts to improve payer-provider collaboration in support of improved outcomes in value-based care with Healthfirst, a non-profit health plan serving close to 2 million New Yorkers. KLAS recognized Hyphen’s Pharmacy Assistant application, which supports Healthfirst’s Pharmacy Incentive Program. The program is designed to empower community pharmacists within Healthfirst’s network to take action to improve medication adherence rates, increase members’ understanding of their health plan benefits, and get compensated for those actions. This program is especially impactful because 80% of Medicare Advantage members in New York visit their community pharmacy 5-10 times annually — more than they visit their primary care doctor. The Pharmacy Assistant application connects disparate data sources and delivers real-time, actionable information in pharmacists’ existing workflows so they can close care gaps
