“…These results are different from previously published studies. [15][16][17] There was no difference between urban and rural areas, or between areas of high and low HIV prevalence regarding the place where ARVs were dispensed. We note that in France, community pharmacies form a dense neighborhood network where qualified licensee pharmacists own their businesses, providing patients and public health care with an unequaled degree of protection.…”

“…First, most patients who use specialty pharmacies have more severe, longer-lasting illnesses than other patients. Due to their use of numerous and multiple drugs with high toxicity, these patients are more likely to experience ADRs (43). However, most patients find drug instructions, both technical and lengthy, and doctors cannot summarize many ADRs.…”

Objectives: To survey, analyze, and ascertain the preferences for specialty pharmacy services among patients requiring complex care and to provide evidence to support specialty pharmacy service decision-making in China.Methods: To identify essential service attributes and levels, a review of the literature, discussions with specialty pharmacy managers and a pilot questionnaire were conducted. A D-efficient fractional factorial design was used to generate the discrete-choice experiment (DCE) questionnaire. A face-to-face survey of patients with chronic illness and their families or friends was conducted at three specialty pharmacies in Chengdu and Qingdao, China. A mixed logit model was used for estimation.Results: Six relevant attributes were identified and incorporated into the DCE questionnaire. A total of 417 participants completed the survey (mean age 43 years, 45.1% males), and 32.1% had lung cancer. The conditional relative importance showed that the most critical attribute was “frequency of telephone follow-up to monitor adverse drug reactions (ADRs), “followed by “mode of drug delivery,” “provider of medication guidance services,” and “availability of medical insurance consultation”; the least important attribute was “business hours.” A 1 min increase in time spent led to a 0.73% decrease in the probability that a service profile would be chosen. Negative preferences were noted for ADR monitoring by telephone follow-up once a year (β = −0.23, p < 0.001) and business hours [8:30–20:00 (Monday to Friday), 8:30–17:30 (weekend)] (β = −0.12, p < 0.001). Compared with women, men had a higher preference for service monitoring ADRs once every 3 months.Conclusions: Preference measurements showed that “frequency of telephone follow-up to monitor ADRs” had the most critical impact on decisions, followed by “mode of drug delivery.” Specialty pharmacies in China need to take these findings into account to improve their design to increase uptake and patient loyalty.

“…Spending on specialty pharmaceuticals is predicted to increase to over 50% of total drug expenditures over the next 5 years. 1 Because of expense and complexity, a keen understanding of each specialty medication is necessary. There has been a recent trend towards the development of specialty pharmacy services by health systems.…”
