IntegriChain Launches Specialty Pharmacy Index to Shape Specialty Channel Strategies and Network Designs

New Data Service Provides Market Insights and Benchmarks to Optimize Patient Access

Philadelphia, PA, April 19, 2016 – IntegriChain, a rapidly growing cloud software company focused on channel management for life sciences suppliers, today announced the launch of Specialty Pharmacy Index, a new data service for life sciences manufacturers that identifies gaps in patient access for specialty pharmaceuticals and targets the best ways to address them. This cross-industry, real-world data service also helps shape product- or class-specific specialty distribution strategies and identify the most qualified pharmacies to enhance provider experience, patient adherence, and therapeutic outcomes.

“Developing a winning specialty channel design is critical now and can be quite challenging as life sciences manufacturers must rely on new data sources for business intelligence to maximize outcomes for the brand and to maintain positive patient access,” said David Weiss, IntegriChain Executive Director of Solutions. “Our Specialty Pharmacy Index overcomes these challenges by providing manufacturers with 100% visibility to the downstream specialty providers. By enriching the datasets with competitive market basket performance data, channel strategists and marketers can see the share of the overall national or regional marketplace each specialty pharmacy manages. Additionally, by providing regular updates to the Index, manufacturers have a clear line of sight into the trends and performance of their network over time and, more importantly, have empirical diagnostic tools to pinpoint underlying issues.”

With Specialty Pharmacy Index, life sciences manufacturers can:

  • Identify key specialty pharmacies
  • Prioritize specialty pharmacies
  • Select key distributors
  • Discover trends
  • Target key pharmacies to stock at launch
  • Ensure data accuracy
  • Improve patient adherence

IntegriChain will demonstrate Specialty Pharma Index at ARMADA Specialty Pharmacy Summit 2016, May 2-6, in Las Vegas.
