Advanced Rx, a leading pharmacy service provider, has announced a strategic partnership with digital health company Sure Med Compliance. The alliance grants Advanced Rx exclusive access to Sure Med's Perspectives in Care (PiC) platform, which is designed to ensure a proper risk-benefit analysis is performed when dispensing controlled substances. PiC provides medicolegal insights and educates healthcare providers on pain management therapies, helping life sciences companies bring innovative products to market. By integrating this system, the partnership aims to address the ongoing challenges of opioid misuse by streamlining the decision-making process for healthcare providers.
Sure Med Compliance will also collaborate with Advanced Rx on commercial initiatives to increase market share within their network of healthcare providers. The alliance seeks to mitigate the human and financial costs associated with improper prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances, particularly opioids. According to Sure Med CEO John Bowman, the platform automates much of the compliance process that pharmacists must now follow due to recent litigation. This automation helps providers make safe, data-driven decisions when prescribing and dispensing medications.
This partnership represents a critical step toward addressing the opioid crisis. By empowering healthcare professionals with data and ensuring adherence to responsible prescribing practices, the alliance aims to improve patient safety and outcomes. As the healthcare industry continues to grapple with the opioid epidemic, collaborations like this one highlight the importance of innovative solutions in preventing misuse while ensuring access to appropriate pain management.
