BOWIE, Md. – March 29, 2022 – Inovalon a leading provider of cloud-based platforms empowering data-driven healthcare, today announced that the American Oncology Network, LLC (AON) will implement ScriptMed Specialty to support efficient, reliable delivery of oral oncology medications to patients. AON’s network represents 107 physicians and 83 nurse practitioners and physician assistants practicing across 16 states and growing.

AON’s specialty pharmacy works with its physicians to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of oral cancer medications provided to their patients. ScriptMed Specialty, powered by the Inovalon ONE® Platform, provides data and analytics, intervention toolsets, data visualization, and business reporting that enable operational flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.

Together with Inovalon’s DataStream™ API and the broader ScriptMed Specialty offering, AON’s oncology practice dispensing pharmacy is the first to access and utilize in real-time longitudinal patient-specific data otherwise unavailable to them. Access to this information dramatically improves speed to dispense, reduces cost to fill, and enables more holistic and informed care decisions, leading to better cost efficiencies, patient experiences, and clinical outcomes.

“Today, as more patients prefer oral oncolytic therapies to IV chemotherapy and providers enable a transition to home care, there is a major focus on ensuring patient adherence and quality of experience,” said Todd Schonherz, AON chief executive officer. “Inovalon’s cloud-based platform, coupled with its specialty pharmacy expertise, ensures our physicians can smoothly transition patients to oral therapies, with confidence in patient adherence, quality, and safety.”

“The cost and complexity of oral cancer therapies requires new approaches to medication management, ensuring patients are well supported throughout their care journey,” said Matt Brow, president and general manager of Inovalon’s pharmacy business. “We’re pleased that ScriptMed Specialty will play a pivotal role in helping AON ensure the best possible outcomes for all patients they serve.”
