2. Specialty Rx Integrated Usage and Acquisition Process
Many specialty drugs are being prescribed on an experimental basis for diagnoses where the use of the drug has not been tested and /or where the drug has been shown that it does not work for many / the majority of patients based on clinical trial results.
To solve these problems, a management process was developed by veterans of the pharmaceutical and related industries to manage the patient’s access to and supply of specialty drugs.
The process begins by assuring appropriate usage based on label instructions vs experimentation by the prescribing physician.

3. Specialty Rx Integrated Usage and Acquisition Process
Drug effectiveness is then proven out by testing and measuring to know when and for which patients a given drug can actually work.
Once a drug is shown to be appropriate and effective, an automated acquisition process assures the best price and delivery method.
