RESTON, Va. -- (Business Wire)
MAXIMUS (NYSE:MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide,
announced today that John P. Crouse, Vice President of Health Services
at MAXIMUS and an expert in pharmacy benefits management, will be a
featured presenter at the National Council for Prescription Drug
Programs (NCPDP) Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Mr. Crouse will present during a two-hour Prescription Drug Monitoring
Program (PDMP) panel about the benefits of utilizing a real-time Drug
Information System (DIS) to help prevent prescription drug abuse and
reduce potentially negative drug interactions. He will share successes
of the DIS that MAXIMUS implemented in four Canadian provinces and
highlight how DIS can improve efforts to reduce prescription drug abuse
over the current post-dispense model used in most state PDMPs. The
session will take place on Tuesday, May 3 and will also feature Deb
Bass, CEO of the Nebraska Health Information Initiative, and Mike
Menkhaus, R.Ph. EPRN Project Manager for Kroger Co.
“Current state systems compile information on prescription drugs only
after they’ve been dispensed, delaying the ability to alert health care
providers that there may be a problem. Drug Information Systems make
this a real-time process so doctors and pharmacists are alerted before
prescriptions are filled,” said John P. Crouse, Vice President of
Pharmacy and Provider Programs at MAXIMUS. “I will share how the move to
a real-time environment can go a long way in addressing the prescription
drug abuse epidemic and will also highlight our work in several Canadian
provinces, where we have already seen significant results.”
MAXIMUS will also highlight its DecisionPoint for Pharmacy Benefits
Management (PBM) solution in the conference’s exhibit area. Mr. Crouse
and a team of PBM experts will provide a demonstration of the
DecisionPoint solution and will share their insights in deploying the
solution across multiple projects.
The annual NCPDP Conference takes place from Monday, May 2 to Wednesday,
May 4 in Scottsdale, Arizona. NCPDP is a leader in developing and
promoting industry standards and business solutions for prescription
drug programs that improve patient safety and health outcomes, while
also decreasing costs. More information about the conference can be
