Mirixa Announces Agreement with The Pharmacy Guild of Australia

MirixaPro℠ chosen to enable patient care services in Australia through retail pharmacies nationwide

NCPA 110^th Annual Convention, Tampa, FL, (October 14, 2008) Mirixa Corporation, the leader in pharmacy-based patient care services and healthlinks.net, a subsidiary of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, announced today that they have signed a definitive technology licensing and business consulting agreement, paving the way for the use of MirixaPro℠ in Australia's pharmacies nationwide.  Mirixa Australia, a newly formed business venture, will be operated by the Guild's healthlinks.net subsidiary. 

Under the agreement, Mirixa, which is sponsored by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), will adapt and license its widely used web-based software, MirixaPro℠, for use by pharmacies in Australia.   Additionally, Mirixa's success and leadership in enabling patient care services, through its U.S. network of 46,000 contracted pharmacies, will be leveraged by the Guild as it builds its Australian national program.  The Guild will initially deploy Mirixa technology and services to facilitate improved medication adherence and outcomes via programs that harness the power of the pharmacist-patient relationship. 

"Medication non-adherence is a challenging and complex global problem that results in poor health and increased health care costs," said Kos Sclavos, National President of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. "After investigating several options, it became clear that Mirixa's experience and advanced technology provide us with the ability to quickly introduce programs that improve medication adherence and healthcare outcomes in Australia.  We are looking forward to working with the Mirixa team to bring technology-enabled services to pharmacists and their patients across Australia," added Mr. Sclavos. 

"The partnership between Mirixa and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is a culmination of years of conversations with our international pharmacy partners.  The endorsement of Mirixa and MirixaPro is a testament to our emphasis on the pharmacy and patient care relationship, and the realization of that focus by our partners in Australia," said Bruce T. Roberts, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, NCPA. 

"The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has a widely recognized track record of innovation in technology and services at pharmacy, and we're honored to have them as a business partner," expressed Rick Solano, Mirixa's Chief Executive Officer.  "We foresee a bright future of collaboration with the Guild, and look forward to demonstrating the clear value that community pharmacy brings to improving the safety, quality and effectiveness of patient care worldwide," added Mr. Solano.
