HDS Launches Script Scan, a New Analytics Platform Designed to Help Pharmacies Manage Business Performance and Optimize Script-Level Profitability

HDS today announced their newest product offering, Script Scan. Script Scan is the latest product to join the Spotlight platform and represents the first product from HDS to focus solely on serving pharmacies. Over the last five years, pharmacy operators have been faced with significant margin compression, limited staff resources, and fierce market competition creating an environment where every dollar of profit matters more than ever.

"I spent the last 8 years of my career prior to HDS working in the specialty pharmacy industry and experienced many of these operational challenges firsthand," said HDS CEO, Ron Hamm. "Script Scan represents the culmination of nearly a year of market research and product development that we believe will empower pharmacies with truly actionable information to improve compliance and optimize every dollar of margin per script."

Script Scan will offer pharmacies daily access to a comprehensive dashboard and reporting suite leveraging next generation data visualization software allowing substantial flexibility and drill-down capabilities. With dynamic filtering, customizable KPIs, and department level views, pharmacy operators can better understand all aspects of their business performance. Data visualization will be available to support views across pharmacy operations, account management, and business development functions.

Beyond dashboards and reporting, Script Scan leverages over 40 rules-based algorithms to connect pharmacy acquisition costs and fee schedules highlighting script-level margin improvement opportunities when claims adjudicate sub-optimally. As soon as claims information is processed, Script Scan organizes all flagged scripts into an intuitive workflow to significantly improve the tracking, assignment, and issue resolution process for internal pharmacy teams.

Along with the commercial launch of Script Scan, HDS has taken several actions to further connect with the broader pharmacy market, including becoming a corporate member of the well-respected National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP). Additionally, HDS's VP of Business Development, Gary Conte, has joined the NASP Technology Committee leading the organization's efforts to further engage with pharmacy market leaders.

Sheila Arquette, NASP President and CEO, commented that, "The National Association of Specialty Pharmacy is thrilled to welcome HDS to corporate membership. We are excited for the opportunity this partnership provides ? supporting their ongoing commitment to improved outcomes, costs savings, accuracy and compliance."

Gary Conte, VP of Business Development at HDS and a veteran operator in the specialty pharmacy industry, further stated that, "we believe our solutions have the ability to offer meaningful support to many pharmacy organizations facing an extremely challenging business environment. Our team's experience building complex solutions to help payers manage their pharmacy benefit has really primed us to expand our services to support pharmacies in a meaningful way."

Script Scan is available as a SaaS-based product offering for specialty and retail pharmacies located anywhere in the United States.
