Specialty pharmacies achieve success through knowledge of a particular disease and its clinical management. This is an increasingly important cost factor for health plans and payers due to an aging workforce and the development of advanced, high-cost drugs. High-cost patients include those with cancer, severe joint diseases, or life-threatening combinations of hemophilia, hepatitis, and HIV. New products are also emerging for conditions that affect large patient populations, including drugs for diabetes, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Savings associated with effectively managed specialty pharmaceuticals can be significant. eMedonline can help to ensure the safe and effective use of specialty therapies, decreasing the expense associated with wasted prescriptions resulting from poor patient compliance.
