Almost 70% of health-system specialty pharmacies fill <50% of all specialty prescriptions written from within their health system. Yikes!

According to an article published in AJHP, the top 4 challenges for health-system specialty pharmacies are (1) access to payer networks, (2) ability to hire and retain qualified staff, (3) shrinking reimbursement from payers, and (4) access to limited distribution drugs.

How can health-system specialty pharmacies drive overall volume to create favorable business conditions for payer contracting and access to limited distribution drugs?
