Few Words About AccelRx

The new solution has been created to streamline the requirements necessary to distribute the growing number of specialty medications that are being prescribed. The solution leverages broad industry partnerships that have been built over decades of e-prescribing and previous authorization leadership that helps providers to cut down time on phone calls and faxes. This, in turn, will drive increasing medication adherence and improve patient care.

Benefits of the Solution

Healthcare providers are likely to benefit from this solution as it will help them in the reduction of time that takes to deliver the medications to patients.

With the growing importance of specialty medications and the impact that they have on healthcare in the United States, the number of patients and providers gaining from the value of AccelRx continues to grow as well. Thus, Allscript’s Veradigm business unit is focused in the development of ongoing partnerships with key industry stakeholders that will enable the expansion of the scope of enhancement of the AccelRx solution throughout 2020 and further.
