ST. LOUIS, Mo.--()--Optime Care, a nationally recognized specialty pharmacy and an AscellaHealth Company, is pleased to announce that it has earned the prestigious Leaders in Performance Measurement award from URAC, the nation’s largest independent health care accreditation organization.

“We are honored to receive URAC’s performance award which recognizes our role as a trusted industry leader and further validates our team’s commitment to instituting policies and procedures that ensure the highest quality care and optimal clinical outcomes for all patients,” says Stephanie Wasilewski, PharmD, general manager, Optime Care. “Through ongoing performance measurement activities, we document the improvement of processes, safety and quality of patient care.”

Optime Care specialists are expert communicators who optimize the patient journey, providing clinical guidance and valuable assistance to patients and families. They streamline care coordination, help with insurance coverage, address financial needs and identify financial assistance programs to improve patient access to therapies.

“Our experience with small patient populations and managing the specific needs of patients with chronic, complex diseases, coupled with being an AscellaHealth Company, enhances our services and ability to serve the specialty pharmacy market,” continues Wasilewski. “Collectively, the outstanding performance of our professional team results in better clinical outcomes.”

The Leaders in Performance Measurement awards program highlights the URAC-accredited organizations that are effectively using performance measurement to improve the health and well-being of the populations they serve.
