Hospice professionals select BetterRX for Gold in the Pharmacy, Medication Management & Infusion Services category.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BetterRX, a leader in hospice pharmacy medication management, today announced that BetterRX Guardrails™ and Guardrail Manager™ won Gold in the Pharmacy, Medication Management & Infusion Services category of the 2026 Hospice News Product of the Year Awards.
Presented by Hospice News and Arrowfly, the awards recognize products making a meaningful difference in hospice care. Winners were selected directly by Hospice News subscribers, giving hospice and palliative care professionals a voice in recognizing the solutions that support their work.
BetterRX Guardrails are configurable clinical and financial standards delivered at the exact moment an ordering decision is made. Guardrails help hospices guide medication ordering decisions in real time, so teams can align prescribing behavior to clinical and cost goals and achieve more predictable pharmacy spend per patient per day (PPD). Every medication order becomes an opportunity to reinforce the organization's clinical and financial standards.
BetterRX's pricing model reinforces that alignment. BetterRX provides 100% transparent, pass-through pricing and doesn't mark up medication or delivery costs. Because BetterRX does not generate revenue from medication costs, its incentives stay aligned with the hospice's: better care, lower unnecessary costs, and medications that reach patients as quickly as possible.
Guardrail Manager gives clinical leaders one place to set and manage Guardrails across their organization, with flexibility at the account and facility level. By embedding hospice-defined cost controls directly into the ordering workflow, Guardrails help teams identify and avoid unnecessary pharmacy expenses before orders are submitted, supporting more consistent medication management and predictable PPD.
Hospices use BetterRX Guardrails to:
- Flag medications that exceed hospice-defined high-cost thresholds
- Pre-approve which medications qualify for STAT or after-hours delivery
- Present pharmacist-recommended therapeutic alternatives the moment a medication is prescribed
- Guide nurses to formulary-compliant choices at the point of order
- Group eligible orders to the same pharmacy into a single delivery
The results are measurable. In an analysis of 85 hospices, median delivery fees per patient were more than 8% lower after enabling the Delivery Consolidation Guardrail. Compassion Hospice reported reducing pharmacy spend by about one dollar per patient per day simply by implementing the Interchange Manager™ Guardrail, with no negative impact on patient care.
"What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it comes directly from hospice professionals," said Todd Blaquiere, Chief Product Officer at BetterRX. "We designed Guardrails to help hospice teams make better medication decisions without adding complexity to their day. Clinical leaders establish the guidance, nurses retain their judgment, and patients benefit from more consistent care."
"With winners chosen directly by HSPN subscribers, these awards showcase the products, solutions and technologies that industry professionals trust most to make a meaningful difference in daily operations and patient support," said Robert Holly, Arrowfly VP and Editorial Director.
