Surescripts Further Streamlines Specialty Prescribing Process with New Services for Specialty Pharmacies

▤ Summary

“Specialty pharmacists can now leverage technology throughout the fulfillment process to reduce administrative burdens, get critical specialty medications to patients faster, and get critical time back to counsel patients,” said Tom Skelton, Chief Executive Officer of Surescripts. With an automated prior authorization workflow embedded in their pharmacy software, specialty pharmacies have both a clear path to prior authorization and the information they need to dispense the medication—ultimately enabling them to start patients on their therapies faster and redirect time and resources back to patient care. “Our pharmacy plays a crucial role in connecting patients with financial assistance and ensuring they receive their medications safely and in a timely manner. To do our job right, we need to quickly and accurately obtain critical demographic, clinical and diagnostic information from the prescribing physician,” said Brian Seiz, Pharm.D., President, Pharmacy, of Express Scripts and Accredo. Our purpose is to serve the nation with the single most trusted and capable health information network, built to increase patient safety, lower costs and ensure quality care.
