EVENT DESCRIPTION

You are Invited to a Live Professional Briefing
Join us March 21 as Richard Stripp, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Cordant Health Solutions, explains how a new testing technology gives clinicians the insight of steady-state blood testing while also offering the ease and benefits of oral fluid testing to help clinicians assess medication levels for their chronic
pain patients.

Testimony From a Current Family Medicine Physician Who Uses CORE in His Practice.
"Dose-correlation testing helps doctors detect problems on how patients are taking or not taking their meds," said Kwesi Grant-Acquah, M.D., a family physician at Omni Family Medical in Milwaukee. "If a patient's drug level is above or below the expected steady-state range at the prescribed dosage, the patient may not be taking the drug as directed or may have genetic or metabolic abnormalities that could require a therapy change."

According to Dr. Grant-Acquah, results from the CORE test provide physicians with actionable information to use in conversations with patients about how and when they are taking their medications. "Urine testing can't determine if a patient is adhering to exact dosing. All the physician knows is the patient took the drug before urine collection and not if proper dosing is being followed."
