RESTON, Va. and WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Mirixa Corporation and
the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Foundation, the creator of the
Diabetes Ten City Challenge and a partner in the Asheville Project(R), jointly
announced today that they will form a new partnership that will deliver all of
APhA Foundation's HealthMapRx commercial programs via Mirixa. MirixaPro(SM)
will be the platform of choice for all existing and future APhA Foundation
commercial programs delivered through pharmacy.
This partnership joins the quality and reach of Mirixa-enabled patient
care programs and services with the APhA Foundation's highly respected and
nationally renowned employer-based disease management and wellness research
efforts. Additionally, this enhanced alliance between the National Community
Pharmacist Association (NCPA), which sponsors Mirixa, and the APhA Foundation
represents a significant opportunity for the pharmacy community by providing
enhanced opportunities to deliver patient care services.
"We are delighted to have earned the trust of the APhA Foundation and to
be selected as their business partner and pharmacy platform of choice,"
expressed Rick Solano, Mirixa's Chief Executive Officer. "This partnership
represents a significant step forward in enhancing pharmacy-based patient care
and education services at the national level, and will help pharmacists
improve consumer health and the quality of many lives," added Mr. Solano.
"This important collaboration between national pharmacist organizations
has the tremendous potential to incentivize wellness, improve patient outcomes
and manage costs, thereby addressing critical issues facing the U.S.
healthcare system. The new partnership creates synergies that will provide
enhanced service delivery and program offerings to current and future clients
and responds to requests by our employer clients and pharmacists for
integrated systems for patient care," said William Ellis, R.Ph., Executive
Director and Chief Executive Officer of the APhA Foundation.
Mirixa will manage the new partnership and will begin integration and
transition steps as soon as the partnership is finalized. All existing
commercialized APhA Foundation programs will continue uninterrupted during the
transition period. The APhA Foundation will continue to focus on its core
mission to improve the quality of consumer health outcomes through
demonstration projects, incentive grants, institutes and scholarship programs.
