— A division of Madison-based ImageMover today announced it’s expanding a colon cancer screening education program nationwide after completing a yearlong pilot program.
The company’s software platform, called Workflow Services, aims to help pharmacies “unlock their full potential” as hubs for community health care, gathering medical data from point-of-care testing.
ImageMover was created in 2013 by neuroradiologists to manage medical images through integrating with major electronic health records systems, such as Verona’s Epic Systems. It later launched its Workflow Services division after the COVID-19 pandemic led to more widespread point-of-care testing.
The program expansion announced today aims to help local pharmacies “bridge the gap” in preventive care for colorectal cancer, which has much better outcomes when identified early. Today’s release notes a fourth of Americans don’t have a primary health care provider, but 90% of Americans live within five miles of a pharmacy.
Kevin Houlihan, president and CEO of Workflow Services, says data collected from pharmacists in the pilot “shows that we are unlocking a new, impactful” channel for health care delivery. Ninety-two percent of participating pharmacists said they were better able to educate patients about colorectal cancer screening.
“Access is one of the major challenges currently confronting the American healthcare system,” Houlihan said in a statement. “And we’ve seen that by providing pharmacists with the right tools and guardrails in a platform like Workflow Services, we can make a real difference in closing care gaps and driving health outcomes.”
