PQS Launches Next-Generation EQUIPP® Platform to Support New Opportunities

The redesigned EQUIPP^® facilitates pharmacies’ efforts to guide performance improvement

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pharmacy Quality Solutions (PQS), experts in healthcare quality measurement and improvement, announced today the release of the next-generation EQUIPP^® platform. EQUIPP^® enables pharmacy-based patient care for nearly 95% of pharmacies across the country.

The re-architected EQUIPP^® platform now provides a better user experience and makes it even easier for pharmacists to guide medication-related performance improvement. It also allows PQS to expand clinical service opportunities for pharmacies.

“EQUIPP^® was rebuilt from the ground up to make it straightforward for our users to deliver quality performance,” said PQS COO Nancy Chung. “We listened to our partners and made the platform easier to navigate, so data could be accessed quickly and displayed in a way that can be clearly understood by our users."

New EQUIPP^® highlights include:

• New patient-centered view: users can see patients with multiple measures in one view
• All patients are listed for each measure, not just outliers, so pharmacists can identify patients before they negatively impact performance
• Easier ways to prioritize patient opportunities, filter and customize the dashboard
• Streamlined intervention coordination: ability to print, document, and coordinate care
• Access EQUIPP^® your way via desktop, tablet, or phone

“As a neutral intermediary who supports the evolution towards value-based care, we align payers and providers to enhance quality and improve outcomes for their shared patients,” said PQS CEO Todd Sega. “When we redesigned EQUIPP^®, we utilized a more flexible architecture that has allowed us to create more pay-for-performance and value-based programs to help our partners close gaps in patient care, deliver enhanced services, and prepare for the shifting role of pharmacies as healthcare destinations.”

Users can look forward to further enhancements later in 2022 and beyond.
