AnewHealth Awarded Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for Home Care Accreditation

National accreditation recognizes AnewHealth's commitment to quality, safety, and excellence in pharmacy care for people with complex medical needs living at home

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AnewHealth, a national provider of advanced pharmacy solutions for people with complex medical needs, today announced at AMCP Nexus 2026 that its ExactCare and CareKinesis pharmacies have earned Home Care Accreditation from Joint Commission, an independent, evidence-based standards-setting organization that sets the benchmark for safe, high-quality patient care through healthcare accreditation. This accomplishment formally recognizes AnewHealth's ongoing commitment to meeting rigorous performance standards and delivering safe, high-quality pharmacy care.

AnewHealth underwent multiple rigorous onsite surveys across its ExactCare and CareKinesis pharmacy operations, which are dedicated to serving people living at home with chronic and complex medical needs. During the visits, a team of Joint Commission surveyors assessed compliance across key areas including medication management, patient safety, quality of care, and operational performance.

Advancing Quality and Safety in Pharmacy Care

As more older adults and people with complex medical needs receive care in their homes and communities, managing increasingly complicated medication regimens presents growing challenges for the caregivers and care teams that support them. Meeting those challenges requires specialized pharmacy expertise, coordinated medication management, and reliable support to help ensure safe, high-quality care.

Joint Commission's Home Care Accreditation Program establishes comprehensive performance standards for pharmacy providers, addressing areas including medication management, patient safety, quality, and operational reliability. For healthcare organizations navigating the growing complexity of home- and community-based care, independent accreditation provides meaningful assurance of the quality, accountability, and operational excellence behind the pharmacy services they depend on.

“For nearly two decades, we’ve invested in the clinical expertise, technology, and infrastructure needed to support organizations caring for people with the most complex medical needs,” said Brian Adams, President and CEO of AnewHealth. “Accreditation from The Joint Commission is a direct reflection of that investment, providing independent recognition of the rigorous quality and safety standards behind our pharmacy operations and strengthening confidence among the partners and people we serve.”

AnewHealth's integrated care model extends beyond traditional pharmacy services. Through pharmacist-led interventions, coordinated medication management, and advanced clinical intelligence, AnewHealth brings specialized clinical pharmacy support directly into home- and community-based care, helping healthcare partners manage medication complexity, reduce risk, and improve outcomes for their most complex populations.

“Health plans increasingly seek clinical care partners who can deliver measurable improvements in quality, safety, member experience, and total cost of care for their most complex members,” said Celynda Tadlock, PharmD, MBA, President and Chief Payer Relations & Market Strategy Officer at AnewHealth. “Accreditation from The Joint Commission provides our health plan partners with independent assurance of the standards behind the pharmacist-led interventions and coordinated medication management we deliver.”

Delivering an Exceptional Pharmacy Experience

An exceptional pharmacy experience goes well beyond prescription fulfillment. It requires clear communication, consistent support, and coordination with the broader care team to help patients manage complex medication regimens safely and confidently. AnewHealth combines advanced clinical pharmacy services, medication management technology, and high-touch patient support to help reduce medication-related risk, simplify care, and improve outcomes for people with complex medical needs.

That same commitment to quality is reflected in the experience of the patients and caregivers AnewHealth serves. The organization has consistently achieved world-class Net Promoter Score (NPS) performance year-over-year, with a score of +75, reflecting strong patient loyalty and willingness to recommend its services.

Joint Commission accreditation provides further recognition of AnewHealth's commitment to quality and safety, reinforcing the high standards behind its personalized approach to pharmacy care.

“Joint Commission congratulates AnewHealth for achieving accreditation by demonstrating its focus on delivering safe and effective care of the highest quality and value,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, Executive Vice President of Accreditation and Certification Operations and Chief Nursing Officer for the Joint Commission. “Through the accreditation process, we worked closely with AnewHealth to enable and affirm the highest standards of healthcare quality and patient safety. Together, we are elevating care for all patients, and we appreciate AnewHealth’s collaboration throughout this process.”

AnewHealth will join healthcare leaders, pharmacy professionals, and industry partners at AMCP Nexus 2026, October 26–29 in San Diego, where the company will highlight its latest innovations across clinical pharmacy, medication management technology, and quality improvement for people with complex medical needs.
