Robert GilesGUEST
So you're able to customize governance, go over your disease states, go over all your medications, and specialize in it.
Robert GilesGUEST
We also have the URAC, who's here today.
Robert GilesGUEST
So you have all those accreditations for the URAC there.
Todd EuryHOST
That's incredible.
Todd EuryHOST
We appreciate not only FDB support, but the intelligence that you're bringing to different facets of pharmacy.
Allison ArantGUEST
over time.
Allison ArantGUEST
The second group is when we partner with the health system who has an established specialty pharmacy but has maybe not obtained URAC or ACHC.
Allison ArantGUEST
Maybe they've gotten one but not the other.
Allison ArantGUEST
And so we'll really help to do an analysis to evaluate what is the value of those accreditations.
Ed GaudetHOST
Yeah.
Demetri GiannikopoulosGUEST
So I was recently, I was on the URAC A advisory committee.
Demetri GiannikopoulosGUEST
They developed the first AI accreditation standard for AI.
Demetri GiannikopoulosGUEST
And It was an interesting experience because I've been deep in security assessments.
Demetri GiannikopoulosGUEST
So that their environments, and that was a, it was a good experience, like to gain that understanding of how these are developed in a little more detail than like the minutia of a lot of the controls that go into things like the NIST, you know, those parts that I was familiar with.
Ed GaudetHOST
And what's the accreditation? Who manages that
Demetri GiannikopoulosGUEST
standard? URAC.
Demetri GiannikopoulosGUEST
So they've, that's, that is their name.
Bonnie DuggieGUEST
There are several accrediting organizations out there.
Bonnie DuggieGUEST
There's ACHC, there's URAC, there's NABP, and there's ENCODA.
Bonnie DuggieGUEST
Those are the four primary accrediting organizations for specialty pharmacy.
Bonnie DuggieGUEST
So one of the things that you would need to do is educate yourself on the standards and work with each of those accrediting organizations so that you can meet their requirements and achieve that accreditation.

Todd EuryHOST
Hey, NASP podcast listeners.
Amit GirGUEST
Any system could do that.
Amit GirGUEST
So we realized, how do we become not just sticky, but sort of welded on to the workflow of our health system clients? So what we did that is, The dashboards and reporting that we provide helps our health system meet FDA requirements, accreditation requirements like URAC or URAC for on the specialty side.
Amit GirGUEST
And it also provides, you know, a call center.
Amit GirGUEST
We have a U.S.-based call center that patients can actually call us first if they have a delivery issue.
