EnlivenHealth’s New Patient Engagement Solution Frees Up Pharmacists’ Time, Helping to Mitigate Pharmacy Staffing Shortages

Personalized IVR Automates Inbound Pharmacy Communications, Reducing Phone Interruptions by Up to 15% and Enabling Pharmacists to Focus on High-Value Clinical Services

RALEIGH, NC (February 14, 2022) — EnlivenHealth®, the retail pharmacy solutions division of Omnicell, Inc., today announced that its recently launched patient engagement solution, Personalized Interactive Voice Response (IVR), is achieving strong customer results, including a Midwest community pharmacy that reduced its phone transfer rates by 15 percent after implementing the new technology. Personalized IVR is a digital technology solution that automates patient communications and streamlines pharmacy workflows, that is intended to free up pharmacists to provide high-value clinical services that can improve patient health outcomes and drive revenue growth for customers.

We believe reducing the administrative workload of pharmacists is more critical than ever given the staffing shortages that are currently challenging retail pharmacies. According to a recent survey from the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), nearly 70 percent of community pharmacies are struggling to find staff. The COVID-19 pandemic has appeared to significantly increase the already daunting workload of pharmacies, leading to staff burnout and ultimately, resignations.

EnlivenHealth’s Personalized IVR is designed to help mitigate staffing shortages by reducing time-consuming administrative tasks and enabling pharmacists to practice at the top of their license. Personalized IVR, a cloud-based voice technology, authenticates callers and provides immediate automated assistance, which is expected to minimize the time pharmacy staff spend on the phone answering questions about medication refills, pharmacy directions, and hours of operation.

“Our mission is to build and orchestrate advanced digital solutions that enable our pharmacy partners to focus on what really matters most – improving patient care and health outcomes,” said Danny Sanchez, senior vice president and general manager of EnlivenHealth. “We are very pleased with the initial, real-world results of our new Personalized IVR solution and we believe it will help ease the growing pharmacy staffing shortage by reducing the constant interruptions that can keep pharmacists from focusing on patient care.”
