Overview

Without the right tools, pharmacies often lack critical information

When pharmacists can’t obtain complete patient data, it can lead to prescription sticker shock, safety concerns, treatment delays and prescription abandonment. 

Patients deserve reliability.

When medications are too expensive or workflow disruptions delay treatment, patients may abandon therapy altogether.

Prescription abandonment increases when out-of-pocket costs reach $50.1
>1 in 10 e-prescriptions contain confusing patient directions.2

Pharmacists need trusted partners.

Manual administrative tasks take up time that could be spent with patients or on activities that bring value to business.

23% of U.S. adults say they (or a family member) didn’t fill a prescription or skipped doses—or cut pills in half—because of the expense.3
Most states require e-prescribing for certain or all medications.4
