Evaluation of a Specialty Pharmacy Order Review Program

This document is a research report evaluating the Specialty Pharmacy Order Review (FOR) program and its Video Connected Care Program (VCCP) extension. The study aims to assess the impact of these programs on patient satisfaction, medication wastage, and the incidence of late or missed doses among infertility patients. The report outlines the background of infertility treatment costs and the importance of emotional support in pharmacy care. It details the methodology, which includes a descriptive, nonexperimental, cross-sectional study design using patient records and surveys to gather data on patient experiences. Results indicate that the FOR program served 9,469 patients, with significant savings attributed to the prevention of medication wastage and missed doses. The findings suggest high patient satisfaction levels, with 92% of respondents rating their experience positively. The report concludes that integrating specialty pharmacy clinicians into fertility care can enhance patient outcomes and reduce treatment costs.
