Mitigate Rising Costs and Manage Patient Outcomes

Antimicrobial Resistance – AMR – is recognized by the CDC and WHO as one of the greatest threats to public health worldwide1, and having fast, actionable data to accurately diagnose patients is paramount. HealthTrackRx provides proprietary solutions to AMR, including our patient-specific antibiogram, which removes guesswork by detecting antibiotic resistance genes, helping patients receive an antibiotic that works – the first time. Our partnership with you produces increasingly positive patient outcomes while mitigating rising healthcare costs.

Antimicrobial Resistance:

A Global Crisis

Antibiotic Resistance occurs when bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause.1

Antimicrobial Resistance and HealthTrackRx

Antimicrobial resistance ​(AMR) is ​a global public health crisis, making empiric treatment ​options for patients difficult. Inappropriate use, and overuse of antibiotics is the primary driver of AMR, caused in part by clinicians relying on the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which increases​ resistance to ​last resort broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Resistant infections lead to higher death rates and are more expensive to treat.1

If our healthcare system fails to decrease AMR by 2050, deaths from antimicrobial resistant infections are estimated to total 10 million, more than cancer, diabetes, and road traffic accidents.2

PCR vs. Culture:

Patient Case Studies

HealthTrackRx PCR is the right solution for health plans that want to benefit from critical diagnostic testing factors to minimize AMR and costs associated with undetected infection.

Personalized Antibiogram

How it Works

Our patient-specific antibiogram offers physicians a wide selection of microbe-specific antibiotics, maximizing the opportunity to choose a non-broad-spectrum antibiotic. Our results detail targeted monotherapy for simple infections and allow for combination antibiotic treatment for complex infections to avoid broad spectrum antibiotic use and specialty antibiotics when possible.

With personalized AMR results, clinicians can prescribe with confidence, significantly reducing the costs of treatment, and improving patient health.
