BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The ProxsysRx specialty
pharmacy team, led by VP Heather Brooks and Compliance &
Accreditation Manager Lauren
Robinson, has earned accreditation status from URAC — the
medical profession's gold standard for third-party validation of
high-quality health care.
ProxsysRx is just the fourth company awarded the highly coveted
status, and the only company offering health systems a
comprehensive range of consultative and hands-on pharmacy-related
support services.
"We could not be more thrilled by this honor, particularly given
the backbreaking effort required to meet URAC's standards," said
ProxsysRx founder and CEO George
Salem. "Accreditation represents a genuine, empirical
milestone in ProxsysRx's ability to guide and support hospitals
seeking to build, own and manage successful specialty
pharmacies."
"The single greatest benefit URAC's validation offers the
hospitals we serve is a significant reduction in the calendar time,
and in the personnel time-investment, required to earn the
accreditation they need to own a successful specialty pharmacy,"
explained Brooks. "For all practical purposes, our accreditation
cuts a hospital's specialty pharmacy accreditation time frame —
typically 12 months — in half."
While URAC does not publicly share its accreditation standards,
the six-month validation process places, under the proverbial
microscope, every aspect (and every member), of an applicant
organization's specialty pharmacy-services operation — from
Clinical Patient Management and Quality Management to the security
measures in place to protect all patient and pharmacy
information.
"URAC even maintains standards for call center service," Brooks
continues. "A specialty pharmacy is expected to answer all calls
within 30 seconds, with a 'call abandonment' rate of under five
percent. And every effort undertaken in a specialty pharmacy
requires reporting, in trackable metrics, to document that its
processes and services are meeting URAC standards."
To make the challenge even more daunting, URAC only awards full
accreditation status to organizations meeting all mandatory
measures and scoring 94% or higher in its validation testing.
