our Vision

Better Therapeutics = Better Outcomes

Not surprising that a PharmD and a pharmacologist would believe that the path to better outcomes includes individually tailored medications.  The difference is that Allen Nichol and Ken Bachmann acted on their convictions.  The result is CeutiCare’s Intelligent Clinical Guidance application.

CeutiCare has proven that it can dramatically improve outcomes for those suffering from chronic illnesses using an algorithmic approach to prescribing.  This approach combines patient data, clinical practice guidelines, a drug database, and evidence-based algorithms to produce the optimal suite of medications for a patient.  These optimal medications result in rapid clinical improvement and generally an improvement in the patient's own sense of well-being.  

There are many different approaches to the problem of chronic disease.  Some focus on prevention or early detection.  Some focus on managing the care team and the information they receive.  Some focus on empowering the patients or modifying their behaviors.  CeutiCare’s approach is one of the few that has documented significant predictable outcome improvements.  Fine tune a patient’s medications to address the patient’s current clinical state and the patient’s clinical state improves.  As the clinical state changes (for the better), the medications also have to change in order to remain optimal.  It’s this iterative process that rapidly brings the patient to the point at which their conditions are well managed and predictable.

This same approach can be used to manage chronic pain with non-narcotic medications.  Most pain is the result of inflammation, neuropathy, muscle spasms, oxidative stress and/or depression.  Using this same iterative approach, CeutiCare has successfully treated these forms of chronic pain and weaned patients from opioids. 

Our vision is that patients with chronic conditions can live happier more productive lives with a pharmacist on the care team helping manage their medications.
