In the U.S., someone is infected with an antimicrobial resistance (AMR) organism every 11 seconds. Optum is proud to be a part of the Fleming Initiative to help reduce the consequences of AMR infection and help people live healthier lives.
Imagine a future where antimicrobial resistance (AMR) claims more lives than cancer. This could happen in just twenty-six years without prompt action. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, which increased human life expectancy by 23 years. Nearly 100 years on, antibiotic resistant bacteria are on the rise. In the U.S., someone is diagnosed with AMR every 11 seconds and dies from it every 15 minutes, and this figure is only going to grow. By 2050, AMR is projected to cause more deaths than cancer, disproportionately affecting the global south and other disadvantaged populations. Last week at the United Nations General Assembly fringe sessions, we announced that Optum will be the primary data and analytics partner for the Fleming Initiative. Led by Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham OM KBE PC FRS, this initiative aims to raise awareness and develop research, technology, and policy to combat #AMR. Together, we will collaboratively find #innovative solutions to make the healthcare system better for everyone.

This collaborative program is driving impactful change and advancing care for patients. We couldn't be more excited and proud of the work done by the team.
National Cholesterol Education Month is a good time for health professionals to encourage patients to check their cholesterol levels to better understand their cardiovascular risk. Optum #LifeSciences and Amgen have created a clinical engagement model for patients with hyperlipidemia, and we’re excited to report that the program evolved in 2024 to demonstrate positive patient willingness to align with guideline-based care. https://lnkd.in/erPt6JZq

We are so proud of the work, Saima, and all of our pharmacists do each and every day to help people live healthier lives. ❤️
At Optum Rx, our pharmacy team members do more than fill medication for patients; they go above and beyond to understand and listen to what our patients need and meet them where they are. In honor of #WorldPharmacistsDay, I’d like to highlight the great work of Saima, one of our virtual consulting pharmacists with Optum Home Delivery Pharmacy, a service patients can choose if they want their medication delivered to their home that comes with 24/7 access to a pharmacist. “Being there for the patients when they need somebody, when they need a health care professional the most is what is of greatest value,” Saima says. “Sometimes patients may not be able to get a hold of their doctor or go to a retail pharmacy. There are patients who are actually homebound, who can't drive. So, we’re there for those patients, to just talk to them and solve their problems.” Saima, I agree with you. It's deeply rewarding to be able to connect with patients and make a meaningful impact in their lives! Thank you, Saima, and thank you to all our pharmacists for the incredible work you do each day to help people live healthier lives.

Malnutrition is a serious concern for people with chronic health conditions. In working with people to manage a condition, Optum Infusion Pharmacy also provides support for their nutritional status. Because with the right support, a life changing diagnosis doesn’t always mean giving up on your health goals. We’re proud to work with American Society for Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) during Malnutrition Awareness Week to help spread awareness of how care teams can support more people facing long term health conditions.
