Ōmcare Collaborates with Leading Senior Care Providers to Change Care Models for the Aging Population
- Ōmcare is launching an all-in-one technology platform to extend the reach of caregivers into the home and enable remote medication assistance that promises dose-level medication adherence.
- Ōmcare is collaborating with senior care providers, like Minnesota-based Ecumen and Ohio-based Continental Senior Communities, to accelerate their home care strategy. The new solution is entering the market at a critical juncture for the healthcare industry as more aging Americans are living longer with increasing chronic conditions and wanting to age in place at home, but doing so at a time when access to caregivers is falling.
- Ōmcare has integrated directly with national pharmacy information systems, allowing for seamless home delivery of medication for dispense and visual confirmation of adherence by the Ōmcare Home Health Hub®. This bridges a critical gap in the healthcare sector's ability to ensure the right medication, at the right time, for the right person.
[Minneapolis, October 24, 2023]. Today, Ōmcare announced that it is launching the Ōmcare Home Health Hub®, an all-in-one, customizable home health platform that allows care providers to extend care into the home via a secure infrastructure with one-touch access to telehealth services, aggregated remote patient monitoring, and medication dispensing with visual confirmation of dose-level medication adherence.
"Ōmcare exists due to the rapidly aging population; high rate of medication nonadherence; a shortage of family and professional caregivers; continued increase in health care costs; the need for in-home care and aging in place;" remarked Lisa Lavin, the CEO of Ōmcare. "Ōmcare opens up the home as a legitimate site of care by creating an all-in-one, easy-to-use solution with a comprehensive suite of capabilities required for remote care."
Ōmcare allows health care and senior care organizations to rapidly deploy a home care strategy while simultaneously customizing the provider and patient experience to fit their brand. The product's accessible architecture also allows for the integration of provider and consumer tools aimed at:
- Addressing the increasingly complex care needs of the Over 65 and dual populations.
- Delivering a platform that allows for tailored customization of current chronic and acute solutions.
- Extending caregiver reach and efficiency.
- Promising right medication, right time, right person.
To support a seamless consumer experience, Ōmcare integrates directly with pharmacy information systems enabling Ōmcare Home Health Hub users to know their medication schedule and receive timely alerts and medication assistance events. This integration delivers a comprehensive last-mile solution to address medication non-adherence, a problem that costs the healthcare industry more than $500 billion a year. More than 33% of hospital readmissions result from medication non-adherence as do 150,000 deaths each year. The novel relationship between Ōmcare, pharmacy and senior care providers is the first of its kind that will increase patient access to the care they need and empower clinicians with better visibility into whether or not patients are adhering to the medications they have been prescribed.
Medication adherence among older adults with chronic conditions taking multiple medications can be hindered by forgetfulness, the complexity of regimens, functional status, and other factors. Non-adherence is a leading driver of hospitalization and loss of independence. For senior care providers like Ecumen and Continental Senior Communities—the Ōmcare Home Health Hub serves as a portal for new services that help people maintain independence in their homes longer.
"Medication administration is one of the care needs that cause people to move into higher levels of care. Keeping residents in the lowest level of care and the highest degree of independence is critical for improved lifestyle, longevity and cost-effectiveness," said Eleanor Alvarez, Board Chair of Continental Senior Communities and CEO of LeaderStat. "The Ōmcare Home Health Hub's ability to provide remote care and ensure medication adherence sets a new bar in the industry and aligns with our innovation mindset."
"People are most comfortable when they are living where they want to live. Ecumen is dedicated to creating a home for older adults, wherever they choose to live," said Brett Anderson, Chief Ecosystem and Operating Officer of Ecumen. "We help them do that through innovations like the Ōmcare Home Health Hub, which helps residents maintain greater independence longer."
The Ōmcare Home Health Hub offering is available now through select senior care providers to bring telehealth services into the home to improve outcomes, reduce cost, increase member engagement, and elevate patient experience. For updates on the Ōmcare Home Health Hub, visit www.omcare.com.

Ōmcare Achieves Dose-Level Medication Adherence and Creates New Revenue Model for Senior Care
In partnership with Ecumen and Thrifty White Pharmacy, Ōmcare successfully completed a pilot of its first product, the Ōmcare Home Health Hub® proving a new model for additional revenue and dose-level adherence.
[Minneapolis, October 11, 2022]. Ōmcare successfully wrapped their initial pilot in partnership with Ecumen and Thrifty White Pharmacy to test its first product—The Ōmcare Home Health Hub.
The Hub is an all-in-one home telehealth solution that enables remote care and ensures dose-level medication adherence. It stores up to a 30-day supply of multi-dose pouched medication that works in tandem with a video portal, providing visual confirmation that loved ones are taking the right medication at the right time.
Thrifty White Pharmacy provided home-delivered pharmacy fulfillment service for each participant in easy-to-load packaged medications. Then, over the course of the 3-month pilot, participants—who took at least 4 medications a day—received calls to their Hub from an Ecumen staff member when it was time to take their medications.
The pilot aimed to measure three key measurements:
- Evaluate medication adherence among participants
- Examine patient and caregiver satisfaction
- Compare operational and cost between remote medication assistance via the Ōmcare Home Health Hub and the traditional med door pass
“This innovation sparked our interest because we saw it as a way to help older adults live independently longer,” said Shelley Kendrick, president and CEO of Ecumen, a nonprofit provider, developer and operator of living spaces and services for older adults. “As we seek to find ways to serve people wherever they call home, medication management solutions like this are key.”
Overall, the pilot successfully demonstrated improvements in all three areas. With 780 calls, lasting an average of three minutes, the results showed:
- The participants had 98% dose-level adherence
- The medication assistance service via the Hub is 85% more efficient than door med pass
- 100% of the participants strongly agree Ōmcare helps them remember to take their medications
- 100% of the participants agree that they're more likely to take their meds using Ōmcare.
“We are grateful to Ecumen and Thrifty White Pharmacy for their commitment and stellar performance in our pilot,” said Lisa Lavin, Chief Executive Officer. “Both organizations continue to innovate to improve health, reduce cost, and elevate the patient and provider experience.”
Ōmcare is scaling up for an early 2023 commercialization and is actively seeking senior care partners who wish to expand their services via technology.

Within a six-year window, Mooty was the CEO and Chairman of four major Minnesota organizations. He led the rejuvenation of the Dairy Queen system, re-opened and rebranded the Faribault Woolen Mill, stewarded Fairview Health Services during a period of crisis and completely reinvigorated Jostens Inc.
Clearly, Mooty has a track record of helping companies thrive.
“Chuck is renowned for possessing the strategic insight and business acumen to parachute into any business and fashion a strategy for growth and optimization. As Ōmcare prepares for its commercial rollout of the Ōmcare Home Health Hub®, Chuck’s experience and laser-focused mindset will be instrumental for our national growth strategy,” said Lisa Lavin, Ōmcare CEO.

During the pandemic, MG stepped out of his normal duties and focused on increasing accessibility to COVID-19 vaccinations and the successful completion of CARES Act payments by leading rapid speed cloud projects spanning multiple companies, including fast-tracking a year-long cloud scaling plan in 5 weeks. Now, he brings both his software skills and leadership development to Ōmcare.
"I joined Ōmcare for the opportunity to create technology closer to the human experience while playing a pivotal role in the company's future. Ōmcare's purpose is a natural fit to my personal passion of improving quality of life through technology. It is exciting to imagine where home health care will be in 5, 10, 20 years and I'm honored to be playing a part here with Ōmcare. Let’s improve care in the home!” said MG.
