Filling specialty prescriptions faster with more clinical data

Specialty prescriptions often require specialty pharmacists to call the prescriber looking for missing clinical data, like diagnosis or weight. Accredo introduced Specialty Patient Enrollment and Specialty Medications Gateway so its pharmacists could access required information much more easily—either sent alongside the prescription or retrieved on demand from the patient’s EHR. As a result, average prescription turnaround time dropped by nearly two days.

“Technology can make the process easier. And Surescripts has been a great partner in helping us become an early adopter of new specialty-focused technology. It’s brought us into the 21st century.”
