The shift of healthcare to the ambulatory setting has resulted in the need to align health-system pharmacy as a revenue center, not only a cost center. Specialty Pharmacy is the fastest growing segment within the pharmaceutical market. Health systems are well positioned to develop their own Specialty Pharmacies as they have integrated health records, specialty providers, and established patient relationships.
