On a mission to optimize pharmacy staff and workflow across care settings, PipelineRx is continuing to grow its comprehensive medication management platform. The strategic hire results from an increase in company momentum, including PipelineRx’s newly launched Patient Discharge Solution, as well as industry partnerships, most recently with YouScript in pharmacogenomics and precision prescribing. Adding Mr. Myers to the team supports continued strategic expansion as PipelineRx looks to connect every patient and provider to high-quality, expert pharmacy services, no matter where they are.

PowerGridRx is a scalable, cloud-based enterprise platform that integrates with any electronic health record (EHR) to aggregate relevant data, helping optimize workflows and clinical decision support for improved patient outcomes. It is also the platform used by PipelineRx pharmacists to deliver remote clinical services, from telepharmacy to antimicrobial and opioid stewardship.
Due to his extensive experience with healthcare information technology, including interoperability, EHR systems, and product leadership, Mr. Myers’ background is an excellent match for PipelineRx’s product development strategy. Mr. Myers is an accomplished leader across multiple healthcare companies, with a passion for pharmacy and technology. This experience includes inpatient, ambulatory, population health, and Machine Learning enabled analytics. Before joining PipelineRx, he worked in a consulting capacity for Private Equity companies including TPG and Francisco Partners, and in product development for various types of healthcare companies.
