SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The NCPDP Foundation formally presented the Charles Pulido, R.Ph. Excellence Award to Xact Laboratories during the President & CEO Leadership Appreciation Dinner on May 3, 2026. This event takes place during NCPDP's Annual Technology & Business Conference where industry leaders come together to celebrate excellence and innovation in healthcare.

Xact Laboratories was recognized for successfully completing NCPDP Foundation-funded research on integrating pharmacogenomic (PGx) data into pharmacist workflows. The study demonstrated the potential of PGx data to improve patient safety and medication efficacy: 95% of patients had PGx-identified medication problems, 59% of contacted prescribers agreed to restrict access to certain medications based on PGx results, and 87% of patient consultations were completed highlighting strong patient engagement and the growing role of precision medicine in pharmacy practice.

"This award recognizes Xact Laboratories' commitment to collaboration, innovation, and measurable impact," said J.W. Hill, MBAHCM, Executive Director of the NCPDP Foundation. "Their research shows how integrating pharmacogenomic data into pharmacy workflow can uncover clinically meaningful medication problems, support safer prescribing decisions, and engage patients to advance precision medicine."
