(EDU-S3) How Accreditation Ensures Quality in Specialty Pharmacy Practice

With the number of specialty medications available ever growing, it has become increasingly important for payers to know that the pharmacies dispensing these chronic, complex, and expensive therapies are providing critical clinical services that specialty patients need. Many payers and manufacturers look to accreditation to provide that assurance. URAC’s Specialty Pharmacy Accreditation is a comprehensive review that validates the operations and care management provided by specialty pharmacies based on quality standards as defined by national best practices.

This session will explain how meeting the accreditation standards translates into better patient care, increased patient safety, and better overall patient outcomes. Faculty with numerous successful accreditation applications to achieve full accreditation status will share specific examples of how the accreditation standards and review process results in high quality patient care.
