Puerto Rican Innovators Earn 2026 PBMI and Chambers Latin America Honors
In a year that underscored the power of innovation, two Puerto Rican leaders were honored for shaping their industries: Martty Martínez‑Fraticelli, PharmPix’s president and CEO, received the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute’s (PBMI) Excellence Award for Clinical Innovation, while entertainment lawyer Patricia Rivera MacMurray was named to the Chambers Latin America 2026 Guide in the Intellectual Property – Puerto Rico category.
The PBMI award, presented during the institute’s annual conference, celebrates figures who push clinical care forward through pharmacy‑benefit technology. Martínez‑Fraticelli’s work at PharmPix, which she co‑founded in 2009, centers on embedding clinical intelligence into pharmacy‑benefit management. Her flagship platform, OneArk, fuses claims adjudication, benefit configuration, and real‑time decision support to flag duplicate therapies, inappropriate dosing, and drug interactions before medication reaches the patient.
PharmPix describes OneArk as a “clinically intelligent” claims adjudicator with a user‑friendly interface for health plans. By weaving clinical data into benefit rules, the system alerts pharmacists and plan administrators to potential safety issues, helping to reduce avoidable medication errors and lower costs.
Rivera MacMurray’s inclusion in the Chambers Latin America Guide follows more than a quarter‑century of practice in copyright, trademarks, licensing, and entertainment law. She serves as legal adviser to Rimas Publishing, a Puerto Rican music‑rights organization, and teaches intellectual‑property and music‑law courses at local universities. The Chambers listing highlights her expertise in safeguarding the rights of songwriters, producers, and other creative professionals.
In a statement from Rimas Publishing, Rivera MacMurray emphasized that intellectual property protects the value of creative work. She noted that her role involves advising artists and publishers on licensing agreements, royalty collection, and dispute resolution—critical components for sustaining the music industry’s economic ecosystem.
Both recognitions spotlight the growing importance of technology and legal expertise in the health‑care and entertainment sectors. PharmPix’s OneArk represents a shift toward data‑driven pharmacy‑benefit management, a field historically dominated by manual processes and limited clinical oversight. Rivera MacMurray’s Chambers listing reflects the increasing complexity of intellectual‑property issues in a digital music marketplace where streaming, sampling, and cross‑border licensing demand specialized legal guidance.
The PBMI ceremony highlighted several industry innovations, but Martínez‑Fraticelli’s platform stood out for its potential to improve patient safety and reduce health‑plan costs. Meanwhile, the Chambers Latin America Guide is a key resource for law firms and corporate legal departments seeking leading attorneys in specific practice areas.
Both professionals remain active influencers in their fields. PharmPix plans to expand OneArk’s capabilities to include predictive analytics for medication adherence, while Rivera MacMurray is slated to speak at an upcoming Puerto Rican music‑law symposium. Their awards affirm ongoing contributions and set a benchmark for excellence in pharmacy technology and intellectual‑property law.
In sum, the 2026 honors recognize Martty Martínez‑Fraticelli’s clinical‑innovation leadership at PharmPix and Patricia Rivera MacMurray’s expertise in protecting music‑industry intellectual property. Their achievements demonstrate how technology and legal acumen can drive safety, efficiency, and value creation in health care and entertainment.
