HOSPICE PHARMACY. PBM. SO MUCH MORE.

(psst... and not owned by your competition!)

LOCAL PBM

With Local PBM Services, You Can...

  • utilize a preferred local network of pharmacies for same-day service, thus ensuring that the majority of your medication dollars are spent within the communities you serve

  • purchase medications at the deepest discounts available to hospices—you pay a pass-through of what we pay the pharmacy

  • choose medication delivery via local courier or by select local pharmacies, when necessary

  • utilize mail-order delivery when a patient does not qualify for local delivery or has a specialty medication need

MAIL

DRAGONFLY MAIL ORDER

Dragonfly Mail Order

Traditional mail order pharmacy programs DO NOT provide hospices with the formulary flexibility, business transparency, financial creativity, necessary technology or regulatory cushioning to operate effectively. You can choose to use a pharmacy owned and operated by sister company pharmacies to Delta Care Rx OR we can facilitate a mail order option for you by route of the countless network pharmacy relationships we hold throughout the country.

THE PROBLEM

Working with patients and their caregivers remotely introduces a new set of challenges for intake teams and admit nurses. Ensuring consistent communication/education, obtaining signed consent forms, and collecting documents from patients and family aren’t simple tasks when you’re not all in the same room.

2.png

THE SOLUTION

Our Virtual Intake Portal solution simplifies the process for intake, the admit nurse, patients, and their
caregivers. We provide a simple step-by-step experience for patients and caregivers that reduces the stress of admitting to hospice. Admit nurses can help patients through the process online, or complete paperwork on their iPad at the patient’s home. Intake teams use our cloud app from the office or at home to receive paperwork immediately (no waiting on faxes).

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

3.png

PATIENTS & CAREGIVERS

  • Sign consent forms from their mobile phones or computers.

​

  • Upload advanced directives, POAs, and MOST forms from their desktop, or simply by scanning the documents with their mobile phone.

4.png

ADMISSION NURSES

  • Can assist patients online, or complete partially completed forms from their iPad (even while offline).

5.png

INTAKE TEAMS

  • Receive paperwork immediately and securely. They can even see partially completed forms and finish them for patients.

6.png

MANAGEMENT

  • Analytics offer insight into what’s slowing down the admission process.

HOW IT WORKS

7.png

1. INVITE

Intake team invites patients & caregivers to participate in the admission process, either by email or mobile text message.

8.png

2. ACCEPT

Patients & caregivers click a link on the invite to visit a secure website where they learn what to expect as they admit to your hospice.

 

They can watch videos, read FAQs, and download documentation (such as patient educational handouts) and walk through your consent forms in a large, easy-to-read font.

9.png

3. SIGN

Patients and caregivers complete forms and sign, as well as upload documents from their desktop or use their mobile phone to scan paperwork.

10.png

4. DONE

Consent forms can be finished by admit nurses when they arrive at the patient’s home.

 

The forms are available on and offline, so nothing prevents admit nurses from completing the admission process.

​

11.png

All activity is tracked and auditable. You can analyze this data to determine conversion rates
as well as identify opportunities to improve the intake process.

BUT, HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN DOCUSIGN?

In one word... “PDF.”
If you’ve ever tried to open a PDF document on your phone, you know how hard they are to read. We take your consent forms and break them into small, easy-to-digest chunks of information displayed in a large font.

 

Much more than signatures
Patients and caregivers can upload documents such as POAs and MOST forms from their desktop or phone.

 

Beyond text
Your patients aren’t just reading the language of the contract. The experience is augmented with video, FAQs, supporting documentation and links.

Integrated
You don’t have to sift through emails and faxes to gather paperwork from various parties. We collect it all for you in a single folder.

 

Simple
As you add referrals to your EMR, the same patient appears in our system, ready for an invite to be sent. (*Requires Delta Care integration to your EHR)

 

Offline
Your admit nurses can complete paperwork even when disconnected.

14.png

TIMELINE: Up and running in 2 days with your admission consent forms (Optional).
 

For a custom branded experience, with your patient testimonials, agency awards and content, we can white label the site within 30 days (additional cost).

EMR Interfacing: No Hassles,
No Problems, With Delta Care

Most hospice providers ask the same initial questions when considering switching pharmacy benefit managers:

​

1. Can you interface with our electronic medical record?

​

2. How painful will the interfacing be, because we have neither the time nor the patience for an endless series of missed deadlines and broken promises?

 

At Delta Care, we are driven by our pricing model, laser-focused on quality care and relentless in supporting clinicians at the bedside. And the reason we can do all that?

Our hospice-oriented, in-house technology team that puts customer service and ease-of-use first.

 

We have built interfacing systems for EMRs with a large installed customer base—and a relatively small installed customer base, EMRs built for hospice—and EMRs built for
home health or hospitals and adapted for hospice, EMRs that are merely complex—and EMRs that are practically unmanageable.

 

Our IT and Customer Service teams share the same goal: Make your EMR interfacing with Delta Care easy, quick, manageable and, if not fun, at least not aggravating.

Delta Care’s Hospice LIVE is a convenient telehealth solution that utilizes a secure video connection to bring live physician and/or pharmacist consultations directly to hospice clinicians sitting with patients at the bedside.

 

Hospice LIVE makes coordination of care for the physician or nurse practitioner simple and effective. It is designed specifically to aid prescribers who may have concerns about caring for patients they may not yet have visited in person, which can represent a particular challenge when hospice patients reside in rural or remotely located areas.

 

For hospices utilizing Hospice LIVE, hospice patients and their caregivers won’t have to wait for an in-person provider visit before receiving select orders for immediate pain and symptom management. The result is improved patient quality of life and satisfaction. And maximum utilization of hospice staff.

The Next Frontier

Hospice LIVE offers efficient data utilization using a standard high-speed internet connection found by default on smartphones via major cellular carriers or within common
work spaces.

 

Live video interaction is arguably the next frontier in healthcare technology, extending the benefits of existing solutions to increase efficiency, meet HIPAA compliance guidelines and provide improved access to care for patients and families.

 

Hospice LIVE is another example of how Delta Care is committed to being so much more than a pharmacy benefit manager to our care partners.

PDM-Pal By Delta Care Simplifies Hospice Clinician Participation In Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Requirements

Hospices already taxed with the ever-growing burden of laws and regulations designed to combat the nationwide opioid epidemic now have a friend in Delta Care’s PDM-Pal, an innovative program that assists partner hospices by simplifying their participation in and compliance with newly mandated state-specific Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs).

PDM-PALâ„¢

About PDMPs

A PDMP is an electronic database that tracks controlled substance prescriptions in a particular state. PDMPs can provide state health authorities timely information about prescribing and patient behaviors that contribute to the prescription drug or opioid epidemic. PDMPs continue to be among the most promising state-level interventions to improve opioid prescribing, inform clinical practice and protect patients at risk.

PDM-PALâ„¢

The Delta Care Solution

Accessing PDMP information can be complex and time-consuming for hospices. PDM-Pal arms Delta Care hospice clients with an easy-to-implement program that is
accessed through existing workflow software. PDM-Pal allows for total simplification and streamlining of any state-mandated participation in drug monitoring programs. Clients already using Delta Care’s PDM-Pal report satisfaction in easily meeting the requirements of their state’s PDMP.

 

PDM-Pal is another example of Delta Care’s ability to innovate and quickly answer any unique pharmacy-related needs of our valued partners with a simple, integrated solution.
