Reporting Firepower Helps Biologics Gain Access
to Limited Distribution Drugs
The speed, configurability and affordability of CPR+ puts the specialty pharmacy in a
position to participate in limited distribution networks
Since Biologics went live with CPR+ software, the specialty pharmacy has been able to effectively compete for
access to limited distribution drugs that are crucial to serving their patients. CPR+ open architecture technology
is highly configurable, equipping Biologics to meet complex biopharmaceutical and reporting requirements
with ease.
CPR+ helps Biologics:
++ Gain access to limited distribution networks and hard to fill
specialty drugs
++ Provide real time reporting that meets manufacturer and
payer requirements
++ Provide premium care to patients with zero down time
CPR+ has helped
“usUsing

CPR+ Makes Custom Reporting Simple
Commitment to Zero Downtime
For the team at Biologics (Cary, NC), patient-centered care
means being a clinical, financial, and emotional advocate
for people fighting cancer. Biologics gains critical access
to limited-distribution specialty pharmacy drugs through
the quality of reporting back to manufacturers. “With
CPR+, we can extract data on our own and create reports
to meet biopharma requirements,” notes Tony Lombard,
VP of Strategic Informatics.
It is crucial for patients to receive their drugs on time
and without delay. CPR+ has enabled the pharmacy
to make good on this promise by keeping the system
operational, with no “downtime.”
Tony goes on to say, “It would be far too costly to prepare
the custom reports we must send to manufacturers using
a third party vendor. With CPR+, we can save money and
do this ourselves.”
A Significant Return on Investment
Lombard emphasizes the ROI the company has realized
with its investment in CPR+. Not only has Biologics gained
a powerful reporting tool, but they saved significantly in
IT costs by hosting the software themselves.
“
As VP of Strategic Informatics, I made the
decision to switch Biologics to CPR+. This solution
was more cost effective, had a favorable ROI, and
Lombard notes that in the past, downtime has been
a problem. “With our previous software, the system
would be down as many as 9-12 hours, during which
time we were unable to produce prescriptions. This
is an untenable amount of time for our patients. By
having the option to host CPR+ in house, we have
not experienced any downtime.”
Improved Service with Enhanced
Workflow Efficiencies
CPR+ has also helped the pharmacy manage their
daily workflows more efficiently. Lombard mentions
that “Being able to manage our workflows with CPR+
is a very rich feature. We can see our worklists in
real-time so that we can segregate and segment
tasks. Different skill sets can work on different parts
of the same prescription. at the same time. Managing workflows is a customer service tool for us – we
can prioritize our orders so we can deliver a superior
level of customer service to our patients.”
I actually have a relationship with support staff
that understand the industry.
