• Are you confident you can match all your prescription and other records
back to the right patient every time? Do you have a sophisticated system
for assigning a universal patient identifier?
Identity checks are the first step to success. The next step is
elevating identity management to identity intelligence.
• Are you able to support your patients throughout the changes in their
lives? Do you have all their latest contact information, such as after
a move?
• Do you understand their social determinants of health and how they can
impact their adherence and other health outcomes?

more drugs available to treat more
conditions than ever before. In healthcare solutions.
addition, the consumer market
for pharmaceuticals continues to
grow; the more people who have
health insurance, the more who
will have affordable access to
prescription medication.
Medication is only part of the picture because services are now provided at
pharmacies that have a greater impact than ever on overall health. Customized daily
medication packaging, wellness programs, 24-hour live chat programs, a wider range
of immunizations and injections, onsite clinics, self-tracking kiosks and integration
of self-tracking devices for activity level, blood pressure, weight and body mass
index are just some of the items on the growing list of services available today.1 As
pm360online.com noted, “Today’s pharmacies are offering expanded healthcare
services and are ideal locations to raise disease awareness and deliver educational
information. They are becoming destinations for consumers seeking
healthcare solutions.”2
Privacy issues loom larger than ever. The pharmacy sector must reach new and
existing members and patients, and manage their medications without revealing
inappropriate information to outside sources; that’s especially challenging when
enrolling patients and members in programs like patient portals that face strict rules
for using Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Medical identity theft is the fastest-growing type
of identity theft, at 22% annually, and 64% of patients cite privacy issues as a key
concern when accessing health information online. The numbers also reveal that
That helps in another key area, too. Right now, a huge majority of healthcare
organizations still rely on direct mail outreach to improve adherence, which is a
potential problem with patients or members who are hard to track down.4 Easy
access to well-managed and maintained contact information on patients and
members makes patient engagement more effective, and that’s the key to driving
better medication adherence and outcomes.

NON-ADHERENCE
The stakes are simply too high not to make adherence a priority. It’s a key factor
in certification from the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission
(EHNAC) which pharmacy organizations often seek6; Healthcare Effectiveness Data
and Information Set (HEDIS) measures and the Medicare Star rating system also
consider medication adherence rates. Up to 30% of prescriptions are never filled,
wasting one dollar out of every nine spent on healthcare7; in addition, more than half
of people missed a dose in a 12-month survey period and 30% couldn’t remember if
they did or didn’t take their medication.8

Pharmacy is starting to realize the need for data to help better know patients and
members. In a recent study, not even 10% of health plans were using analytics to
identify the need for adherence-related interventions, but well over half said they
planned to in the future. That could be a factor in that just 67% view their medication
adherence efforts as “moderately effective.”9

Checks
Identity Checks facilitate the authentication, verification and resolution of identities engaging
with an organization; helping to provide information security, identify possible identity theft
risks and compliance issues, and allow for point-of-need identity information searches. That’s
accomplished with tools such as TrueID,® Device Assessment,® OneTime® Password,
InstantID® Q&A, Instant Verify, Bridger Insight® XG and Accurint® for Health Care. The LexID®
also provides a sophisticated approach to applying a universal identifier so each record and
transaction can be appropriately linked to the right patient.
Identity Insights help customers better understand individuals and their social determinants of
health, so they can predict who needs help, positively impact patient engagement and improve
medication adherence by leveraging unique socioeconomic factors and analytics. Specific
solutions include Socioeconomic Health Attributes and Socioeconomic Health Scores.
Our healthcare solutions combine proprietary analytics, science and technology with the industry’s leading sources of provider, member, claims
and public records information to improve cost savings, health outcomes, data quality, compliance and exposure to fraud, waste and abuse.
