Star Ratings do not improve by accident. They require the right strategy, the right data, and the right partners.

Chief Product Officer James WuRohe will join the stage with Jennifer Wirick, PharmD, BCACP, BCGP from Essence Healthcare at the RISE Medicare Product and Pharmacy Strategy Summit in Seattle next week.

If you're attending, you won't want to miss their discussion on the Part D Star measure changes reshaping pharmacy operations and the strategies leading plans are using to move the measures that matter.

New prescriptions. Old routines. Multiple doctors. No one person in charge. The result is confusion that too often results in a readmission.

Clarest Health solves this problem.

Our Transitions of Care Program is clinically supervised and starts before the patient ever walks out the door. A pharmacy liaison reconciles medications in-facility, a pharmacist-supervised care liaison manages the entire transition, and every prescriber is reached before conflicting instructions become adverse events.

We don’t react to post-discharge chaos. We prevent it.

For skilled nursing facilities navigating CMS accountability. For health plans protecting Star Ratings and managing readmission costs. For patients who deserve a plan, not confusion.

"Through medication therapy management (MTM), pharmacists can play an important role in identifying drugs that are inappropriate for older adults."

This core focus from a recent Pharmacy Times article highlights one of the most critical objectives in senior care today: reducing inappropriate medication use in older adults to improve safety and clinical outcomes.

Through Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs), pharmacists bridge the gap between abstract guidelines and real-world safety. Whether it is identifying hidden anticholinergics in over-the-counter combination products or evaluating the long-term risks of PPIs, targeted clinical oversight is vital.

True clinical leadership involves actively screening for high-risk complications like confusion and falls, educating patients on OTC safety, and proactively collaborating on safer therapeutic alternatives.

The article, written by Jennifer Gershman, PharmD, CPh, PACS, is well worth the read for healthcare professionals focused on senior care, medication safety, and clinical outcomes.

Identifying inappropriate OTC medications and recommending safer pharmacotherapy treatments are important roles for pharmacists.

"Skipped or mistimed doses may not feel urgent, but their effects can accumulate."

Nearly 9 in 10 adults over 65 take at least one prescription medication, and many manage several at once without clinical oversight. When adherence breaks down at home, the consequences can range from worsening symptoms to avoidable hospitalizations. Our latest article explores the most common reasons seniors miss doses and how the right support can change that: https://clarest.com/medication-adherence-at-home-why-seniors-miss-doses-and-how-to-fix-it/

Missed doses put seniors at serious risk. Explore the most common reasons medication adherence breaks down at home and the practical steps that help fix it.

"For seniors managing multiple medications, even small disruptions can cascade into missed doses, unmanaged symptoms, or avoidable hospital visits."

About 46% of U.S. counties now meet pharmacy desert criteria, and the communities hit hardest are often those with the fewest alternatives. As retail closures continue, the question becomes not just where people can fill prescriptions, but whether medication support remains coordinated at all. Our latest article, “What Happens When Pharmacies Close? How Home Pharmacy Services Solve the ‘Pharmacy Desert’ Problem” breaks down what is driving this trend and what a home-based model of care can offer.

When local pharmacies close, medication access shouldn't stop. Explore how home pharmacy services help seniors manage prescriptions safely and consistently.

2027 Medicare Advantage Star Ratings updates prove one thing: "check-the-box" healthcare is out.

CMS is significantly restructuring the Star Ratings program, retiring administrative process measures and doubling down on clinical outcomes. What does this mean for health plans?

• It means you can no longer win by just managing populations on paper. You have to manage the person.
• Health is deeply personal. A generic, surface-level approach to medication management won't drive the clinical results CMS now prioritizes.
• Plans need to look comprehensively at the patient's entire clinical profile, their specific disease states, and how their medications interact.

At Clarest Health, our Clarest Path solution delivers true Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM). We go beyond basic reviews to optimize the entire medication regimen because we know that driving real clinical outcomes isn't a numbers game.

How is your plan shifting its strategy from process to personalized clinical outcomes? Let's connect and talk about the future of CMM.

"Without a clear home medication management system in place, confusion, missed doses, and non-adherence can follow."

In 2026, as more seniors choose to age at home, families are managing more of the care coordination than ever before. With medication non-adherence costing the U.S. healthcare system more than $500 billion annually, home management isn't just a convenience, it’s a clinical necessity.

In this article, we explore how our at-home pharmacy solution replaces a fragmented pharmacy experience that keeps patients safe and in control without sacrificing their daily independence.

As more seniors manage complex prescriptions at home, the stakes have never been higher. Learn what home medication management is, why it matters, and how structured support reduces risk.

For millions of Americans, a nursing home or skilled nursing facility isn't just a care setting. It's home. The administrators who lead those communities make that a reality every single day.
