PACE & Chronic Care
PACE and chronic care demands better clarity amid disease and medication complexity, staffing constraints, and the growing need for more value in care delivery and outcomes.
GalenusCare is the trusted precision pharmacy partner that turns complexity into a personalized, proactive medication strategy grounded in clinical precision enabling Teams to perform at a higher level, and lower cost. We combine advanced clinical science with AI-driven insights and pharmacist-led collaborative practice to optimize every regimen, predict and prevent medication-related harm, and support compliant, scalable care from admission through every condition change.
Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
Under full-risk capitation, every medication-related emergency department (ED) visit, hospital admission, and symptom escalation has clinical and financial consequences. The interdisciplinary team (IDT) works under time constraints; polypharmacy is pervasive; specialist referrals per patient per month is at an all-time high, and after-hours issues demand rapid, coordinated responses that safeguard stability and clarity for participants and families.
GalenusCare is Your Solutions Partner
- Embedded IDT partnership: We prepare regimen-level insights in advance of care conferences to streamline decision-making and align with participant goals.
- Advanced medication safety analytics: Early identification of multi-drug, drug-gene, and drug-disease risks, with pragmatic options that minimize disruption to stable therapies.
- Precision Pharmacists under collaborative protocols: Advanced-trained clinicians who deprescribe when appropriate, optimize dose and time-of-administration, and coordinate symptom-driven adjustments with prescribers.
- Home implementation: Precision compliance packaging, in-home systems, and concise guidance make complex regimens workable for participants and caregivers.
Outcomes
Expect More: You, Your Staff and Participants Deserve Better
- An easier process and path to reduced falls, ED visits, and admissions tied to medication risk
- More efficient IDT medication-related deliberations and fewer urgent, unplanned patient care needs Transparent delivery of care with documented pharmacist actions demonstrating accountability and clinical risk and avoidable cost prevention
Home Care
Home health agencies need to reduce preventable utilization and demonstrate quality under Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP)—often across fragile transitions where reconciliation gaps and adherence breakdowns occur between visits. Field clinicians need rapid, reliable pharmacist and pharmacy support to keep care plans on track.
GALENUSCARE SOLUTION
- Admission-first reconciliation with targeted risk flags: Comprehensive review of the full regimen at start of care, with prescriber-ready recommendations to eliminate duplications and de-risk high-impact combinations.
- Adherence made practical: Time-sorted packaging and clear, patient-friendly instructions that convert intent into reliable daily routines.
- On-demand pharmacist support for field staff: Rapid triage of symptom changes and new orders, with actionable adjustments coordinated with prescribers.
- Continuous optimization: Iterative tuning of therapy and timing as conditions evolve to prevent predictable setbacks that drive urgent care and hospital use.
Outcomes
- Fewer preventable hospitalizations and stronger HHVBP results
- Higher Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) medication-management performance and smoother field workflows
- Improved satisfaction for patients and referral confidence among hospitals and physicians
Long-Term Care (LTC): Assisted Living & Memory Care
Lean staffing and heavy medication passes converge with persistent polypharmacy. Night-time sedation, confusion, orthostasis, and drug-disease conflicts frequently drive falls and transfers. Between provider visits, clinical rationale and timing discipline can erode—along with family confidence.
GALENUSCARE SOLUTION
- Ongoing precision medication reviews: Targeted focus on drug clusters associated with falls and cognitive effects; deprescribing where appropriate; regimen simplification without sacrificing control of chronic conditions.
- Time-of-administration optimization: Strategic timing adjustments that materially lower risk, implemented in ways practical for staff.
- Packaging that improves reliability and speed: Time-sorted, resident-specific packs that reduce bedside decision points and administration errors.
- Direct clinical collaboration: Concise pharmacist notes—with rationale families understand—support nurses and providers and reduce after-hours confusion.
Outcomes
- Fewer falls, fewer transfers, and fewer medication-related events
- Faster, cleaner medication passes and reduced staff strain
- Visible gains in safety and family trust, strengthening relationships with hospitals and accountable care organizations (ACOs)
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs)
SNF performance is tightly linked to 30-day readmissions and medication safety. Facilities must meet survey expectations while managing complex, high-risk regimens where a single oversight can precipitate a transfer. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) evaluates quality through programs including Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) and the Five-Star Quality Rating System (Five-Star).
GALENUSCARE SOLUTION
- Admission-to-discharge monitoring: Daily analytics and routine, prospective pharmacist oversight beyond the monthly consultant review. Focused safety programs: Structured workflows for anticoagulant use, insulin, opioids, and psychotropic medications supporting appropriate use, safety.
- Packaging that streamlines med pass: Unit-dose, time-stamped packs that minimize bedside errors and return time to hands-on care.
- Survey-ready documentation: Clear, aligned rationale for every recommendation, supporting Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) and clinical records without adding administrative burden.
Outcomes
- Lower 30-day readmissions and stronger Five-Star performance
- Fewer adverse drug events (ADEs) with auditable pharmacist interventions
- Meaningful relief for overextended teams without disrupting established provider relationships
