The most rapidly-growing specialty pharmacy channel is in health systems. In fact, in 2017 20% of health systems reported operating a specialty pharmacy. Unlike standard specialty pharmacies, health system specialty pharmacies are unique. They have a direct relationship with the patient, have access to the patient’s electronic health record (EHR) and work directly with the patient’s doctor as an active member of the care team. This unique position gives them access to data such as adherence and time-to-treat that could be valuable to manufacturers.
