August 21, 2017
In Claro, VoicePort
By Katie

The pharmacy results are in, and we like what we see. We've known that reminding patients about upcoming refills on the maintenance meds improves awareness about missed days of therapy and ultimately improves adherence.

Ready for More: Centralized Contact Center a Must for Pharmacies

July 31, 2017
In Claro, VoicePort

Time study analyses are often used to evaluate the impact on workflow efficiency with the introduction of new technology. Introducing new technology that impacts the...
