Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess whether having a clinical pharmacy team improved patient access to CFTR modulators by reviewing medical records from 2012 to 2018 at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC).
- - Results showed that the time between prescription and prior authorization submission significantly decreased from 12.5 days to 3.5 days after implementing clinical pharmacy services, indicating faster access for patients.
- - The analysis also revealed that prescriptions filled by the UIHC Specialty Pharmacy had a much shorter prior authorization submission time compared to a non-UIHC pharmacy, emphasizing the benefits of integrated pharmacy support in cystic fibrosis care.
