By harnessing the power of consumerism and advancements in communication technology, American Well's Online Care framework allows health plans to dynamically manage care consumption by driving consumer-provider interactions to the member's home, the least expensive of all care settings. American Well and the Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA), Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii, announced earlier this year an alliance which allows online care services to all residents of the state of Hawaii, -- 1.3 million people.

First DataBank's National Drug Data File Plus is one of the healthcare industry's most widely used sources of up-to-date drug information utilized at the point of care. NDDF Plus helps pharmacists, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals avoid medication errors, prevent adverse drug events, reduce drug-related expenses and improve the quality of patient care.

"This integrated offering will put drug information at the fingertips of physicians during the actual care encounter," said Ido Schoenberg, MD, Chief Executive Officer of American Well, Inc. "This information, together with other tools and the power of live interaction will provide a broader foundation for physicians who are caring for patients using Online Care."
