Asembia 2023 recap: What we learned

The patient experience was front and center at Asembia 2023

Asembia 2023 took place April 30-May 4 in Las Vegas and brought together more than 7,000 attendees spanning the entire supply chain of specialty pharmacy.

A common theme throughout the event was about optimizing and improving the patient experience. With so many variables impacting patient satisfaction, every link in the specialty pharmacy chain has a part to play.

To provide the best patient experience and the best outcomes, pharmacists need complete patient data upfront and throughout the therapy cycle. A common challenge is trying to compile this data from multiple, disparate sources in a timely manner.

If pharmacies have visibility into the entire patient record with the most current data points, it’s easier to provide a seamless experience for the patient. From patient assessments to EHR data, the need for secure, integrated systems has never been greater.

Inovalon panel discussion

On day 4 of Asembia 2023, Inovalon hosted a lively discussion about the expanding role of data and interoperability in managing the patient total cost of care.

Inovalon’s Medical Director, Olufunke Pickering, MD, was joined by Mark Conklin, Chief Technology Officer at Free Market Health, and Chris Antypas, President of Perigon Specialty Pharmacy.

Among the topics discussed by this panel of experts was how to improve efficiency and manage the total cost of care by automating the exchange of comprehensive patient data. Expanded datasets are also being used by pharmacists to identify clinical risk factors and participate actively in preventative patient care.

The presentation spoke to all the stakeholders in the patient journey – providers, payers, and pharmacies alike. Because Inovalon serves multiple types of healthcare providers and settings, their SaaS solutions are designed with flexible integration in mind.

Go from siloed to streamlined with Inovalon

When solutions allow partners to securely connect and share data with one another, the patient journey is smoother, faster, and increases the likelihood of better outcomes.

ScriptMed^® Specialty from Inovalon connects the patient and all of their stakeholders with efficiency and scale in a single, end-to-end solution.

Powered by unparalleled healthcare data from providers, payers, and pharmacies, ScriptMed offers the pharmacist an expanded dataset including EHR data, patient allergies, medication history, patient metrics, diagnoses, and lab results.

Role-based, configurable workflows and the ability to automate repetitive, manual tasks optimizes efficiency from referral receipt to delivery. Fewer touchpoints for staff reduce delays to therapy and allow pharmacies to focus on growth, innovation, and most importantly, patient care.
