How PillCountPro Works

The prescribing doctors load patients’ names, personal information and details about their prescriptions into the provider-side cloud app. For each MAT recipient entered into the system, pill counts will be arbitrarily scheduled and administered automatically.

Once a patient downloads the corresponding mobile app, available for iPhone or Android, their prescription protocol is monitored and they receive push notification reminders when it is time to take their pills, as well as a log to keep track of medication dosages. Their patient portal also provides them with access to informed consent agreements and DSM-5 evaluations. They can also upload self-assessments of their current well-being.

Perhaps most importantly, the PillCountPro app sends a text message to patients automatically when a pill count is due. Patients will easily submit a record of certified pill counts, accompanied by a time-stamped photo of all remaining pills as proof. This information will be securely forwarded to the provider-side cloud app, where it will be recorded on the patient’s MAT Medication Chart, a dashboard interface that monitors compliance.

Providers will receive alerts if a patient does not provide a pill count or when a pill count was submitted but reflects non-compliance. Physicians will also receive daily reports, such as medication adherence and self-assessment records, among others. These records are stored, accessed and managed by doctors and staff through the provider-side cloud app.

The Auxa PCaaS solution is an intuitive and effective mobile platform for monitoring pill counts and MAT progress—improving the critical path to recovery ofOUD patients. With PillCountPro, Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) practices are assured a more compliant, productive and profitable practice with improved patient outcomes.

The Company’s PILLCOUNTPRO as a Service takes the hassle out of patients having to make trips to the doctor’s office for the express purpose of conducting manual pill counts. By leaving the administrative tasks to us and our Pill Count as a Service (PCaaS), doctors are able to spend more time focusing on patient care, and less time on records administration.

Patients under treatment for OUD, download the PILLCOUNTPRO app, receive medication reminders, submit pill counts based upon our random schedule generator, provide well-being, self-assessments as needed, and maintains a log of medication dosages. Providers receive alerts for any noncompliance, along with regular reports on pill count submissions, Medication Adherence and Self-Assessment records, which are also are available to doctors 24/7 via their personal PCaaS portal.
The Company leveraged the combined expertise of Dr. Peter Farr, a 30-year veteran of family medicine and addiction management and his brother Bill Farr, a successful software entrepreneur with extensive experience in developing case management and regulatory compliance solutions. Their goal was to enable the physician to focus on patient care, while our solution helped in the Medication Assisted Treatment program, and took the worry out of a no-knock inspection by the DEA.

The benefits of PILLCOUNTPRO to the Practitioner can be easily enumerated as higher productivity, enhanced patient engagement, greater confidence in MAT compliance, and reduced operating costs, yet the importance and convenience for patients is equally treasured.

PILLCOUNTPRO is fully integrated with Auxa’ auxatelehealth platform and provides practitioners with the tools and software essential to increasing practice efficiency while eliminating far too many manual processes [like pill counting] and paper-based documentation [scanned test results] used to track regulatory compliance that have crept into today’s OBOT practices.

“In rural areas where patients have local primary care physicians, our platform’s intuitive approach would make it significantly easier for the integration of addiction medicine into primary care settings, provided the physician has elected to pursue addiction medicine as a sub-specialty for their primary care practice and has secured the necessary training and DEA waiver to prescribe controlled substances,” added Dr. Farr.

The company has taken painstaking steps to ensure that Physicians who have received the DATA-2000 wavier and operate an office based opioid treatment practice can “readily verify” during an inspection or audit that they do fully comply with DEA regulations and state medical board guidelines covering medication assisted treatment in OBOT settings. Our software solution does so on several levels.

First, our unique, nightly 25-point assessment lists any missing regulatory components covering each patients’ MAT record and provides a PRACTICE COMPLIANCE GRADE™ that measures practice regulatory guideline performance for MAT treatment, assessments, agreements, and required recommendations. Additionally, each patient’s MAT record receives a PATIENT COMPLIANCE SCORE™ listing items that need to be addressed for guideline compliance, which is then rolled up into a MAT COMPLIANCE CHART that the physicians can review daily and use as a guide for individual patient follow-up.

Central to Auxa’ framework is the Physician’s ability to manage a patient’s adherence regularly and effectively to the agreed upon medication plan and provide added diversion control and prevention capabilities. The checks and balances in the system include easier submissions of required pill counts and regular medication lookups in accordance with state guidelines to use the Controlled Substance Monitoring Programs [CSPMP] to see all filled prescriptions by the patient.

While the benefits of auxatelehealth with PILLCOUNTPRO for the Practitioner are easily enumerated as higher productivity, enhanced patient engagement, greater confidence in MAT compliance, and reduced operating costs, the importance and convenience for patients is equally treasured. The patient’s well-being and expected return to a near normal lifestyle is the underlying principal that drives our innovative approach to deliver technology that changes the future of medication assisted treatment.
