Evolving the Healthcare Ecosystem to Support Cell & Gene Therapies for Patients
AmerisourceBergen's George P. Rafferty spoke at Asembia’s AXS23 Summit in Las Vegas on how we are evolving to support the healthcare ecosystem for cell & gene therapies (CGTs) for patients. As the pipeline of cell and gene therapies continues to expand and more therapies reach the market, we were proud to launch the Cell and Gene Therapy Integration Hub to streamline the "path-to-care process" for such advanced medicines. This new platform-agnostic system aims to improve connectivity across CGT treatment journey to enable enhanced patient and provider experience.

Reducing barriers: New insights for improving patient access
White paper
Advanced strategies to reduce barriers to patient access
Biopharma companies face complex behind-the-scenes barriers that contribute to prescription abandonment by pharmacies, providers, and patients, limiting medication access for patients. New approaches to narrow network distribution, digital pharmacy, dynamic claims adjustment, and consignment allow biopharma companies to help better mitigate those barriers and enable patients to get and stay on therapy.
White paper
Digital Pharmacy
Various behind-the-scenes barriers in the prescription journey can prevent pharmacies from receiving clean, dispensable prescriptions, often leading to pharmacy abandonment. Digital pharmacies can help biopharma companies remove barriers, enabling dispensing pharmacies to receive clean, ready-to-dispense prescriptions. In addition to improving patient experience, digital pharmacies provide stakeholders with robust data to better understand barriers in the prescription journey and inform better decision-making for healthier outcomes.
