Advanced Rx & Sure Med Compliance Join Forces to Reduce Opioid Misuse

SUNRISE, Fla., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Rx, the nation's leading pharmacy services provider announced an exclusive, nationwide alliance with Sure Med Compliance, a mission-driven, digital healthcare company that helps healthcare providers meet the regulatory standards associated with prescribing and dispensing controlled substances.

Opioid-related overdose is now the leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 18 and 45, claiming over 81,000 lives in 2023. In recent years, regulators have expanded their focus to include pharmacists and wholesalers within their purview. Through this alliance, Advanced Rx will gain nationwide exclusive access to Perspectives in Care^SM (PiC) by Sure Med Compliance, to ensure that a proper risk and benefit analysis has been determined and documented each time a controlled substance is dispensed. This alliance aims to mitigate the human and economic costs associated with inappropriate prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances, specifically opioids. Furthermore, Sure Med Compliance will partner with Advanced Rx on several key commercial support initiatives aimed at increasing market share within their network of healthcare providers. 

Advanced Rx Management, CEO Jeff Azevedo shared his thoughts about this alliance, "Advanced Rx is proud to partner with Sure Med Compliance, a recognized leader in the fight against opioid misuse. Their innovative solutions align perfectly with our commitment to optimize patient care. By working together, we can empower healthcare providers with the tools and resources they need to deliver exceptional care, while prioritizing patient safety. This collaboration strengthens our collective efforts to combat the opioid crisis and ensure a more responsible approach to pain management."

John Bowman, CEO of Sure Med Compliance had this to say about the alliance, "Hindered access to appropriate pain care is the driving force behind the current phase of the opioid epidemic. Ensuring all members of a patient's care team have the data they need to make a safe and appropriate prescribing and dispensing decision can dramatically improve outcomes. Partnering with the nation's leading pharmacy service provider will allow us to expand our reach and ultimately safe lives. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Advanced Rx and commend them for their dedication to solving this devastating health crisis."
