ABSTRACT
The use of standard transactions in the electronic sharing of prescription-related information among payers, prescribers and pharmacists aids in the delivery of effective, safe, and affordable medication therapy to patients. Integral to electronic medication management (eMM) in this environment is the availability of data to aid in the determination of the most appropriate medication for a patient considering benefits coverage restrictions, therapeutic effectiveness, and cost. Key elements of this formulary decision support are the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Formulary & Benefit (F&B) standard and the related Real-time Pharmacy Benefit (RTPB) standard. In this article, we review the foundational role of F&B in the electronic prescribing of medications, the value it delivers to prescribers, and dispensing pharmacists. The combination of F&B and RTPB to enhance the quality of information available in eMM is also discussed with evidence presented on how these standards help to minimize manual tasks and rework in the pharmacy, optimize time to therapy, lower patient out-of-pocket costs, and result in the dispensing of prescriptions less likely to be abandoned. We conclude with a view of the future of F&B to support new eMM requirements.
