Without accurate, real-time data, providers often find it challenging to deliver cost-effective, clinically appropriate care. And although recent policies have created more transparency in our healthcare system, not all data being transferred is created equal. Enter Real-Time Prescription Benefit (RTPB) technology that can display accurate prescription cost and coverage information at the point of care. 
 
This session highlights how RTPB can give providers actionable data, improve care team workflows, and reduce patient costs. Additionally, panelists explain how different types of prescription data feeds have driven mistrust in recent years, and what the future of ePrescribing may look like.
