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.
