“We are pleased to partner with Golden Valley Health Centers to provide Central Valley PACE with our extensive experience and services to PACE organizations,” said TRHC President Orsula V. Knowlton, PharmD. “Through our CareKinesis solution, we will provide medication safety and fulfillment services, MedWise™ technology, and pharmacy services. We also will provide electronic health record, risk-adjustment and coding, third-party administrative services, and our 340B program services.”
TRHC currently supports PACE organizations throughout the state, serving nearly 1900 participants.
“We support the PACE community with solutions that enhance humanistic, clinical, and economic outcomes for PACE organizations and their participants,” said CareVention Chief Client Officer for PACE, Michael J. Ristagno, PharmD. “For both new and fully-operational PACE organizations, TRHC’s CareVention provides integrated, end-to-end services to exceed client expectations for participant health and safety, organizational financial management, and regulatory compliance requirements.”
