Patients rely on specialty pharmacists, but missing information often gets in the way

When specialty pharmacies receive incomplete patient data, they spend valuable time tracking down the information and critical treatment is delayed. 

Pharmacists want more time to focus on patients.

Specialty pharmacists are bogged down with administrative tasks, which can lead to frustration and burnout. 

40% of specialty pharmacists say they feel more like an admin.1
39% have to contact clinicians at least five times in an average day.1

Delays can hinder treatment.

All too often, treatment is delayed due to missing patient information, potentially resulting in patient health concerns and complications. 

It takes prescribers three hours of paperwork a week to start patients on specialty medications.2
The average specialty prescription takes at least four days to fill.1
