Continuing Education
Keeping our members up-to-date on the latest clinical information is a priority. As a value-added service, we offer access to complimentary continuing education (CE) opportunities through the Innovatix Institute.
Each month, more than 500 members participate in CE programs led by our clinical team. To accommodate our members, we offer a variety of opportunities and forums for earning CE:
- Lunch ‘N Learn is Innovatix’s monthly teleconference CE program for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, dietitians, and nurses. Each program is designed for providers in the long-term care and infusion markets. Members participate in these live teleconferences during their lunch hour without leaving their pharmacy or facility. Each call is hosted at two different times to accommodate members in various time zones.

Care Solutions Manuals
On a daily basis, our members make critical decisions about how to provide the best patient care for a variety of complex diseases and conditions. To help our members achieve the best patient outcomes, we’ve developed Innovatix Care Solutions manuals.
Innovatix Care Solutions is a comprehensive disease state management program designed to provide our members with education and resources that support their disease management initiatives. Prepared by our clinical experts, each Innovatix Care Solution manual focuses on a specific condition that requires treatment in a long-term care or home infusion setting. Care Solutions manuals are available for the following conditions:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Anemia
- COPD
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Diabetes
- MRSA
Each Innovatix Care Solutions manual includes recommended policies and procedures, care plans, medication selection guides, monitoring logs, protocols for identifying and managing complications, and evidence-based guides for treatment and monitoring.
Innovatix Care Solutions manuals are available as a complimentary resource for Innovatix members.
Contract Advantage Tools
As a group purchasing organization, Innovatix’s core competency is ensuring that our members make purchasing decisions that provide the best value. For pharmaceuticals, that means helping our members find a lower-cost alternative for drugs that aren’t available through one of our GPO contracts.
To address this need, Innovatix has developed Contract Advantage tools for our pharmacy members. Contract Advantage helps our members save by showing the financial advantages of using Innovatix-contracted alternatives to specific higher-price non-contracted drugs. Contract Advantage tools include:
- FDA indications
- Dosing information
- Reimbursement estimates
- Costs (with and without contracted rates)
- Projected profit and savings
Our clinical team regularly produces new Contract Advantage tools when it finds an Innovatix-contracted drug that offers better value to our long-term care pharmacy, infusion pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, and oncology members.
