Inside the shift from reactive prescription management to proactive medication access
A patient leaves a clinic with a prescription, drives to the pharmacy and discovers the copay is higher than expected, a prior authorization is required or the medication is out of stock. They leave empty-handed. Therapy is delayed. Adherence is at risk. The provider learns about it days later, if at all.
This new whitepaper outlines how health systems are redesigning that experience. By bringing affordability intelligence, pharmacy fulfillment options and benefit information into the prescribing workflow, organizations are reducing surprises for patients, lowering administrative burden on staff and protecting prescription capture across their pharmacy channels.
The report draws on insights from a senior pharmacy executive roundtable at Becker's Spring 2026 Chief Pharmacy Officer Summit in Chicago, where leaders compared strategies for tackling drug shortages, 340B dynamics, prior authorization burden and prescription abandonment.
