FDB Vela™ ePrescribing network

Electronic Health Record (EHR) users can experience an easy and timely integration into the FDB Vela network. FDB Vela also enables EHR users to share a broad set of clinically meaningful and actionable patient and medication insights at the time of prescribing to help improve consumer medication safety and therapeutic efficacy. EHRs can:

• Easily connect into the FDB Vela network and leverage unique services via APIs
• Readily tap into advanced real-time pharmacy benefit (RTPB) services and electronic routing for specialty drugs
• Save time and money via simple onboarding and implementation within weeks, not months
• Bring creative and aspirational ideas for ePrescribing to market without barriers through a flexible cloud-native architecture and an accommodating, collaborative business model

Prescribers will appreciate the fact that the FDB Vela ePrescribing network requires no change in their current workflow patterns, while opening access to increasingly robust and relevant data sources. At the same time, FDB Vela addresses the need for improvements in specialty medication approvals and processing as well as extending ePrescribing to new medical categories, including veterinary.

With the FDB Vela ePrescribing network, pharmacies can exchange prescription-related transactions efficiently and cost-effectively. Pharmacies can:

• Launch new activities to extend streamlined electronic prescription fulfillment to customers requiring specialty medications and to those filling prescriptions for pets.
• Enjoy new revenue streams from these activities while creating a better experience for all customers.
• Access prescription, authorization, and drug cost data in real time so they can accelerate their workflows and have more fully informed discussions with customers.

With FDB Vela, health plans and pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) can now more freely innovate ePrescribing workflows to bring greater value to members. These payer organizations can:

• More easily equip prescribers and pharmacists to offer members price transparency regarding their prescription drugs
• Expand availability of eligibility and enrollment information to streamline the drug fulfillment process.
• Implement ePrescribing for members requiring specialty medications.
• Gain greater control over ePrescribing transaction costs.
