More About the Health System-Owned Specialty Pharmacy Industry:
Approximately 25 percent of the 600+ health systems in the United States have established their own, integrated specialty pharmacies to provide patients in their communities with the best coordinated and comprehensive care that only a health system can provide to its own patients. Growth of the integrated specialty pharmacy industry is accelerating as it becomes clear that the model reduces fragmented care and health inequities, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced total medical expenses.
Our Board of Directors released an Open Letter addressed to the nation’s health systems and other network providers of specialty pharmacy patient care proposing three immediate actions the industry needs to take to improve patient care and outcomes.
