Challenge

Treatment is available only from one specialty pharmacy and can be shipped only if patients have confirmed a delivery date each month to ensure they are home to receive the delivery. Patients can miss shipment of treatment if the specialty pharmacy is not able to connect with the patient to schedule shipment, risking a disruption in treatment.

How could we optimize refill rate, mitigate drop off and provide added value to the refill scheduling and delivery process for patients?
