Optimal patient care is a top priority for
specialty pharmacies. Efficient business
processes can help them achieve this
goal in a complex, dynamic market. MHA
Specialty Pharmacy Solutions (MHA SPS)
provides a range of services and solutions
that support operational efficiency, as well as help pharma-
cies improve patient adherence and outcomes and navigate
the specialty landscape.
“We continue to step up our investments in innovative technol-
ogy, tools and expert services to ensure that our specialty phar-
macy members have the greatest opportunities for success,” said
Erik Halstrom, the vice president of MHA SPS.
Technologies That Help Specialty Pharmacies Advance Patient Engagement
As the specialty market grows, so does stakeholder demand for
data that measure how well patients adhere to complex specialty
treatments and achieve results. A complementary range of technol-
ogy-based solutions from MHA SPS can serve as a launching point
for pharmacy-initiated patient engagement strategies that support
therapy adherence, persistence, contract compliance and more.
One such solution is MHA SPS Clinical Therapy Management™
(CTM), a patient management software application that tracks patient
outcomes and interventions, measures adherence and persistence,
and provides patient and treatment insights. The application offers a
host of tools for reporting essential clinical and dispensing metrics to
meet the complex contracting needs of specialty pharmacy medica-
tions and other contracting requirements with payors and accredita-
tion and referral sources. The CTM application has modules covering
eight disease state categories with more than 100 indications.
“Our CTM provides a clinical support pathway to help specialty
pharmacies engage with and clinically manage their patients,” said
Stacey Ness, PharmD, CSP, MSCS, AAHIVP, RPh, the company’s
senior director of specialty clinical services. “Data show that the
implementation of our CTM can significantly improve patient adher-
ence and positively impact clinical outcomes.”
In one recently published study on adherence, prescription fills for
a particular therapeutic category increased by 35% during the six
months post-CTM implementation, compared with the six months
before implementation, revealing a positive and sustained effect on
patient adherence. Another published study on clinical outcomes
documented a fivefold increase in the number of patients who were
infection-free after implementation of CTM, compared with the time
period before implementation.
MHA SPS continues to partner with organizations that provide
novel technology platforms that enable patient engagement. A
recent example is the MHA-VUCA Health partnership, which gives
member pharmacies access to MedsOnCue, an innovative plat-
form that provides a library of prescription-specific video briefings
through a unique digital patient experience with key information
about the safe and effective use of medications.
To improve operational efficiency at the pharmacy, MHAuthorizeRx™,
powered by CoverMyMeds®, offers a secure, easy-to-use web-based
prior authorization tool that enables pharmacies to collaborate with
prescribing physicians to submit prior authorizations for any drug to
nearly all health plans. MHAuthorizeRx creates an automated, paper-
less experience for the pharmacy and ensures that prescriptions are
filled with greater efficiency and with the most up-to-date information
from health plans.
Investing in First-of-a-Kind Reporting ToolsHaving access to clinical patient metrics can help pharmacies meet
reporting requirements and better understand what’s happening
with their patients. MHA SPS invests in unique and efficient reporting
tools that give pharmacies the metrics necessary to make informed
decisions about current and future management of patients.
For example, MHAOptics™, a new benchmarking program, offers
clinical insights and business intelligence that can help pharmacies
implement strategies to improve patient adherence and work toward
implementation of best practices. This first-of-a-kind program allows
pharmacy and other specialty stakeholders to analyze multiple met-
rics, aggregate patient data and communicate the information to
stakeholders, such as payors, manufacturers, physicians and accred-
iting bodies. The program is currently available as IGOptics™ for users
of the Immune Globulin module of CTM.
In addition, a recently formed partnership with Evaluate Ltd., a
life science and market intelligence and forecasting leader, provides
streamlined access to key pharmaceutical pipeline and business intel-
ligence to help specialty pharmacies stay informed and prepare for
the future drug therapy landscape.
A Growing Portfolio of Services and SolutionsAlong with technology solutions, MHA SPS offers an expanding
spectrum of specialty services and solutions, including data-driven
specialty pharmaceutical contracting, clinical services and education,
association and strategic partnerships, and accreditation resources.
“We have a sizable, knowledgeable account team that goes above
and beyond to understand the pressing business and patient care
needs of specialty pharmacy. Our primary goal is to help pharmacy
members maximize success and have a positive impact on health
care,” Mr. Halstrom said.
