What You Should Know:
– Pharmacy Quality Solutions (PQS), an Innovaccer company, has partnered with Pyrls, a Y Combinator-backed drug information platform, to embed clinical data directly into the EQUIPP Copilot workflow.
– The integration allows pharmacists to access drug summaries, interaction screenings, and counseling points instantly without toggling between different systems. The collaboration aims to streamline clinical decision-making, reduce workflow friction, and improve patient care by placing critical data at the pharmacist’s fingertips.
The “Zero-Click” Pharmacy: PQS and Pyrls Join Forces to Streamline Clinical Decision Support
For decades, the pharmacist’s workflow has been defined by fragmentation. To answer a single clinical question or verify a drug interaction, a clinician often has to tab out of their dispensing system, log into a separate database, search for the drug, and then synthesize that information back into the patient conversation. Today, Pharmacy Quality Solutions (PQS) announced a partnership with Pyrls that aims to render that toggle tax obsolete.
PQS, now an Innovaccer company, is integrating Pyrls’ clinical drug information hub directly into its EQUIPP Copilot platform. The move signals a shift in pharmacy technology from passive repositories of data to active, “zero-click” workflow assistants.
Solving the “Toggle Tax” in Pharmacy
The core promise of this partnership is the reduction of workflow friction. Pharmacists are under immense pressure to deliver clinical services while managing high prescription volumes. The integration embeds Pyrls’ data—trusted by over 50,000 clinicians—directly into the screen the pharmacist is already using.
“EQUIPP Copilot was designed to meet pharmacies where they are, integrate into their workflow, and provide a zero-click solution for identifying and documenting clinical services opportunities,” said Todd Sega, Managing Director at Pharmacy Quality Solutions.
By bringing Pyrls into this environment, PQS is effectively removing the barrier between identifying a clinical opportunity and having the knowledge to act on it. Pharmacists will now have immediate access to:
- Instant Drug Summaries: Covering pharmacotherapy and pharmacology.
- Counseling Points: Clear, concise talking points to guide patient consultations.
- Visual Pill Identification: Reducing errors in medication verification.
- Real-Time Interaction Screening: Identifying potential adverse events before they occur.
Curated Intelligence for Faster Decisions
Pyrls, a Y Combinator alum, has built its reputation on modern, user-friendly design in a market often dominated by legacy interfaces.
“Pharmacists make countless clinical decisions every day, and they deserve drug information that’s instantly accessible, reliable, and easy to use,” said Derek Borkowski, CEO at Pyrls. “By integrating Pyrls directly into EQUIPP Copilot, we’re eliminating workflow friction and placing clinician-curated tools exactly where pharmacists need them.”
This partnership reflects a broader trend in health tech: the consolidation of point solutions into platform-based workflows. Rather than selling a standalone drug database, the value now lies in how that data is delivered in context.
The Business Case: Outcomes and Revenue
Beyond clinical safety, this integration has a clear commercial angle for pharmacies. The EQUIPP platform is widely used to manage performance on quality measures that impact reimbursement from payers. By arming pharmacists with better clinical tools at the point of care, PQS and Pyrls are betting that pharmacies will be able to complete more clinical interventions.
This “supercharged” workflow serves a dual purpose: it drives better health outcomes for patients by ensuring they understand their medications, and it drives revenue for pharmacies by helping them meet the performance metrics required by value-based care models.
