Overview

Provide exceptional service with expertise and efficiency

Patients seek lower costs and convenient service. But tracking down information from payers and prescribers consumes precious time for pharmacists and patients.

Information gaps impact efficiency.

Phone and fax communication with prescribers due to confusing or incomplete information causes inefficiencies that can result in adherence and safety issues.

Cost barriers reduce adherence.

When pharmacists don’t have access to patient-specific medication pricing information and therapeutic alternatives, prescription abandonment may result.
