Specialty pharmacies play a vital role in improving medication adherence, advancing patient outcomes, and expanding access to life-saving therapies. As the demand for specialty medications continues to rise in the U.S., health systems must scale their specialty pharmacy services to meet this demand and maintain the highest quality of patient care.

In order to do this, health systems should focus on strategies like reducing administrative burdens, embracing innovative technologies, and collaborating with industry partners. Lindsey DeMarrais, Pharm.D., MS, Managing Pharmacist Consultant with McKesson, recently shared her thoughts on how health systems can effectively scale their specialty pharmacy solutions with First Report Managed Care.
