Participating institutions will have access to TherigySTM’s robust library of specialty therapy programs to provide superior pharmacy care needs for their patients, assure continuity of care for every patient, and advance UHC’s “Triple Aim” goals of improving care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the cost of care.

The application allows for accurate and reliable data collection and outcomes reporting and easily integrates with pharmacy dispensing systems. Comprised of a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, pharmacists, and software engineers, Therigy’s team has configured more than 400 clinical assessments and protocols into TherigySTM to provide a turn-key application with easy customization of content by users.
