Know Your Numbers
Independent pharmacies may lose access to their insured patients' lives because they are being excluded from pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) preferred networks. This is an enormous issue that all pharmacy businesses should understand and act upon in order to stay competitive.
Health Mart® is helping our members make it easier to understand this complex issue through the Know Your Numbers program, providing you with:
- Exclusive resources and tools to help you understand healthcare's shift toward fee-for-performance and how CMS quality ratings have an impact on your pharmacy business
- Data to give you insight into your pharmacy's own quality performance and support to help you focus on improvement
ACCESS YOUR NUMBERS
Health Mart has partnered with Pharmacy Quality Solutions to give Health Mart members access to EQuIPP™, a third party online information-management platform that makes data available to your pharmacy. You'll be able to review your unique performance data, compare it to benchmarks, and identify areas for improvement in patient care and clinical outcomes. The first step to enrolling is to complete Pharmacy Quality Measures: Action Steps for Improvement on Health Mart University.
