Wed, September 8, 2021, 10:00 AM·3 min read

LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 08, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Curant Health and Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) have teamed up to help achieve better health outcomes for Humana members suffering from Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The new pilot program, aimed at improving medication adherence in order to help patients lead better lives and ultimately help reduce health care costs, offers comprehensive support for the members who have complex health conditions and prescription medication needs.

From improving medication adherence to ensuring patient safety by reducing adverse drug reactions, the program is designed to help decrease hospital admissions and enhance the overall member experience.

Humana members with CHF and COPD, who agreed to participate, were included in a randomized control trial, considered the gold standard for evaluating health interventions.

"Humana has a strong commitment to patient safety and medication adherence," said Bethanie Stein, PharmD, Humana Senior Vice President of PBM Services. "This collaboration allows us to tap into Curant Health’s innovative approach to personalized patient care and data driven insights while integrating our already successful methods for helping our members take their medicines as prescribed."

"At Curant Health we have a saying that ‘Outcomes Speak Louder Than Words.’ Our work with Humana embodies that exact thought. Curant Health measures success one patient at a time and ensures that the patient voice is captured through validated scales. This prospective study will help clearly demonstrate the impact of our unique care model on patient lives," says Patrick Dunham, CEO and Co-Founder of Curant Health.
