Dispensing Models

Models for the dispensing of anticancer medications are increasing. As models proliferate, the impact on oncology pharmacy, care delivery, and the patient experience can differ widely. Areas that may be affected include pharmacy operations and management, staffing, workflow, inventory, budget, patient education and monitoring, and more.

As the number of oral anticancer medications continues to grow, so do new challenges for education, delivery, and adherence. Dispensing requirements from manufacturers, payers, and regulators continue to change, as healthcare transitions to a value-based care environment.

Oncology pharmacy professionals, cancer programs and practices, hospitals, and health system pharmacists must stay informed on evolving dispensing models and how to effectively evaluate these for timely, effective, and safe delivery of therapies to patients with cancer.
