ImageMover and QuidelOrtho Partner to Simplify Test-to-Treat Process for Pharmacies

MADISON, Wis., Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ImageMover, a provider of Workflow Services for pharmacies, is proud to announce its partnership with QuidelOrtho, a leading provider of point-of-care diagnostic testing solutions, to bring a comprehensive solution for pharmacist-administered testing for a variety of illnesses, including COVID-19, influenza A+B, Lyme disease, strep throat, and RSV. This revolutionary combination of diagnostic hardware and customized software offers patients fast and accurate results and simplifies the test-to-treat process for pharmacists.

The integrated solution combines QuidelOrtho's Sofia 2 fluorescent immunoassay analyzer, an automated small benchtop system, with Workflow Services to create a one-stop solution for pharmacists. With this patient-friendly system, pharmacies can onboard patients 80% faster than with the current manual process and are freed up to focus on what really matters – delivering the best possible patient care.

The process is simple: patients complete a short questionnaire and self-register, pharmacists review patient information and perform testing using the Sofia 2 test, and Workflow Services automatically reports the results, and if allowed, the pharmacist will dispense medication based on the outcome of the test result.

"This solution addresses major challenges pharmacists face when offering a test-to-treat program, such as lack of staffing and time for complex reporting and record keeping. We're excited to partner with Workflow Services to continue to build comprehensive pharmacy programs for the new age of clinical service providers and to expand access to healthcare, especially in underserved communities," said Cheryl Miller, Vice President, Retail Sales and Marketing, QuidelOrtho.

The joint system provides speed, accuracy, and security. Sofia 2 provides dual modes for walkaway and batch testing, with results available in just 3-15 minutes, depending on the assay. It also offers an expansive test menu, including COVID-19, influenza A+B, Lyme disease, strep throat, and RSV. The small instrument size and room-temperature storage of kits make the test suitable for pharmacies, hospitals, urgent care centers, and physician offices.

As the healthcare industry seeks innovative solutions to meet the growing demand for convenient access to medical services, local pharmacies are stepping up to play a crucial role in serving their communities.

"Care delivery is changing, and consumers are seeking convenient clinical services from pharmacists that normally they might have received from their general practitioner," said Kevin Houlihan, President and CEO, ImageMover. "With QuidelOrtho tests and Workflow Services, pharmacies can confidently expand their care delivery methods with reliable tests and simple workflows."

"The public health benefits of enabling pharmacists to become go-to community healthcare professionals for consumers in need of fast and convenient point-of-care testing and treatment are enormous," Mr. Houlihan noted. "We are proud to offer a comprehensive Workflow solution together with QuidelOrtho's easy-to-use Sofia 2 assays for a wide range of viruses and health conditions," he concluded.
