Population Health Analytics FOR PHARMACY
Population Health Analytics
PQS provides pharmacies with the data and analytics to improve patient care and network performance. The EQUIPP® platform offers clear dashboards to track key quality measures like medication adherence and immunizations, and even forecasts patient needs.

Benchmark your performance against peers and find new opportunities to deliver better care.
KEY FEATURES
Performance Dashboards
Visual dashboards display pharmacy-level metrics (monthly adherence rates, immunization rates, etc.) with trend graphs and targets. Heat maps and scorecards make it easy to spot which measures or patient segments need attention.
Network Benchmarking
Pharmacies can see how their scores compare to internal goals and external benchmarks. For example, a pharmacy can track its adherence rate against national averages or top-performing peers, fostering healthy competition and goal-setting.
Actionable Insights & Alerts
EQUIPP highlights priority patients (e.g., those who recently missed refills or haven’t had recommended screenings). Pharmacies receive regular lists of patients overdue for interventions, along with suggested actions. This turns raw data into a prioritized “to-do list” for pharmacy teams.
Custom Reports
Users can filter and drill down by geography, payer contracts, or patient cohorts. Compare pharmacies across a city or evaluate performance by plan sponsor. Data can be exported or delivered automatically by email for easy sharing. Large pharmacy chains can request the monthly Enhanced Patient Population File (EPOP), an add-on report with rich patient-level data, including demographics, health conditions, and calculated risk scores.
Aligning Care with Outcomes
Supporting Value-Based Care
Population analytics empowers pharmacies to be active participants in value-based care. Access to data that measures and manages outcomes allows pharmacies to demonstrate their impact on quality metrics. Timely intervention reduces avoidable hospitalizations and complications, aligning with payers' value-based goals. Data-driven engagement transforms pharmacies into a proactive care hub where every intervention is guided by insights, ultimately leading to smarter decisions and better outcomes.
Benefits
Identify Care Opportunities
By analyzing population health metrics, pharmacies can spot patients who would benefit from medication reviews, immunizations, or chronic care management.
Drive Better Patient Outcomes
With timely data, pharmacists can intervene early., If a dashboard shows declining adherence in a diabetes drug, a pharmacy can conduct outreach (calls, counseling). Studies show that pharmacist-led interventions significantly raise adherence and clinical outcomes.
Improve Pharmacy Performance
Benchmarking drives performance improvement. Pharmacies can learn from high-performers (e.g., adopting successful workflows) and strive to meet network cut-points. Visibility into trends (weekly or monthly) helps staff adjust workflows proactively.
Enhance Business Results
Focusing on high-impact gaps improves clinical metrics and can unlock performance bonuses. Efficient targeting of interventions also optimizes staff time. The EPOP report, in particular, helps pharmacies streamline pharmacy operations and maintain critical productivity levels by focusing on patients most likely to benefit.
Better patient outcomes. Better business results.
