A stable stock of prescription medications is critical to the management of chronic diseases - a fact that doctors who see insurance-paying patients might easily take for granted. With no on-site pharmacy, and a limited budget, clinics that serve the poor have often cobbled together a patchwork of samples and donated medications to support their patients: what was in the doctor's closet was what the patient received. So safety-net clinics - which care for more than 15,000 uninsured people in Northern Virginia - needed a creative solution, and Nova ScriptsCentral was the answer. NSC stocks medications for over 35 chronic diseases, including asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Its centralized operation and joint purchasing power maximizes the skills of the pharmacist, and reduces the cost of purchasing medications and filling prescriptions. Health outcomes improve, needless ER visits are prevented, and doctors are free to care for their patients as they should. This is a special example of collaboration that benefits so many in need. You can be a collaborator too.
