To deal with the changing health care landscape and the expanding growth of specialty pharmaceuticals, it is imperative that health systems evaluate their current structure of providing hospitalbased specialty pharmacy services. Specialty pharmacy services have rapidly expanded over the last decade, and this has affected a wide variety of disease states and in many cases has dramatically enhanced clinical outcomes. However, these medications come at a substantial cost, and a clear plan must be established at each institution to sustain financial viability. By focusing on developing a plan for specialty pharmaceuticals, the pharmacy director can help ensure the institution has prepared a strategy that is conservative, financially viable, and patient-centered.
为应对不断变化的医疗保健格局以及专科药物的持续增长，医疗系统必须评估其当前提供医院专科药房服务的结构。在过去十年中，专科药房服务迅速扩张，影响了多种疾病状态，并且在许多情况下显著改善了临床结果。然而，这些药物成本高昂，每个机构都必须制定明确的计划以维持财务可行性。通过专注于制定专科药物计划，药房主任可以帮助确保机构制定出一个保守、财务可行且以患者为中心的战略。
