Leveraging EnlivenHealth’s Robust National Pharmacy Network, PEN is Intended to Enable Pharma and Consumer Health Brands to Deliver Automated, Branded, Omnichannel Patient Messaging
FORT WORTH, TX – December 2, 2022 – EnlivenHealth®, the retail pharmacy solutions division of Omnicell, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMCL), today announced the launch of the Patient Engagement Network (PEN), a comprehensive patient engagement solution that combines EnlivenHealth’s broad national pharmacy network with best-in-class data insights and digital engagement technologies that is designed to help improve patient health outcomes, improve brand loyalty and drive revenue growth.
EnlivenHealth’s new PEN solution connects targeted patients with branded educational messaging ‒ all optimized to be delivered when, where and how individual patients prefer to receive their health-related information. For participating pharmacies, PEN should offer a new revenue growth channel by partnering with leading pharmaceutical manufacturers and consumer health brands.
In today’s changing, post-COVID-19 pandemic environment, patients continue to assume a greater role in their healthcare decisions as they seek trusted medical information outside of their prescriber’s office. For life sciences companies and health-related consumer packaged goods brands, we find the challenge is delivering the right messaging to patients, at the right time, and in the right place. We believe that to be effective, every patient interaction needs to be relevant and engaging, as well as conveniently delivered.
With the launch of PEN, EnlivenHealth is making its patient engagement technology solutions available to pharma and life sciences companies for the intended purpose to help achieve this critical patient health mission. PEN is designed to achieve this through automated, direct-to-consumer messaging campaigns that are provided free of charge to participating retail pharmacies. EnlivenHealth is currently collaborating with leading pharmaceutical manufacturers and life sciences companies in their development of innovative patient engagement campaigns.
“PEN capitalizes on EnlivenHealth’s unique assets and capabilities, including our extensive national pharmacy network that reaches patients in virtually every community nationwide, and our industry-leading digital engagement technologies,” said Danny Sanchez, senior vice president and general manager of EnlivenHealth. “What we think differentiates PEN is that it is intended to combine the power of digital engagement with the high level of trust that patients have in their local pharmacies and pharmacists. We believe PEN fills a significant need in the marketplace for both branded and above brand patient engagement, which in our view represents a win-win for everyone: pharmacies, manufacturers, and most important, patients.”
EnlivenHealth’s new PEN solution is meant to provide partners with the following important benefits:
- Ability to target patients by condition, age, geography, medication adherence and payer
- Automated, outbound notifications through voice, SMS text, mobile push, email, mail
- Intelligent, interactive personalized IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
- Mobile and web applications
- Interactive web forms
- Pharmacy appointment scheduling
