OPEN MINDS & Altruix Engages In New Partnership
GETTYSBURG, PA (May 21, 2023) — OPEN MINDS announced today the collaborative partnership with Altruix, formerly Terrapin Pharmacy, for the 2023-24 year. Altruix, is a high-touch pharmacy dedicated to serving individuals with behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disability populations helping them maintain independence in their homes and their communities.
“Altruix uses advanced medication technology that is all about reducing time and errors while managing medications, extending the workforce through remote monitoring for medication adherence and biometric readings, to support independent functioning and community inclusion for complex needs consumers,” says Christy Rosado, President Long-Term Care Pharmacy & Chief Marketing Officer of Altruix. “In contrast to visits and pharmacy services, our ‘smart vending solution’ has increased medication adherence to 90% or higher, resulted in 25% fewer emergency room visits, and has resulted in 40% fewer dollars spent on hospital visits.”
“Altruix is a unique solution provider and partner for OPEN MINDS,” said OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer, Monica E. Oss. “We are attracted to partners like Altruix who bring technology innovation to support consumers with self-management of health while simultaneously supporting a direct care workforce already stretched to meet demand.”
