Things need to change.
Medication delays that cause NEEDLESS SUFFERING must no longer be the accepted status quo in health care. NO patient should have to wait longer than 24 hours to receive medications.
Why is this happening?
DISCONNECTED CARE TEAMS
When care teams are disconnected and there is no visibility or accountability in the medication ordering and delivery process, medications are often delayed due to lack of approvals, signatures, and other blocks to stall the medication fulfillment.
Middle men controlling medication options
Unfortunately, medication providers are being selected by PBMs, Insurance providers, or other 3rd party services without the consent of the patient. The best option for fast medications such as local community pharmacies are being replaced by mail order providers. This slows down medications and hurts patients.

How do we fix it?
In order for healthcare providers to eliminate medication delays several things must happen. First, patients must be given the option to choose where their medications are obtained from. Second, the care team must be connected throughout the entire medication ordering and delivery process with the ability to track medication status at any point. It's time to let care providers know this matters. Please visit our change.org petition and add your voice to the many that believe in ending needless patient suffering.
