Do you sometimes struggle with choosing a course of topical therapy that not only covers the pathogen but is also affordable to the patient?

We can help eliminate that burden for you, so you can eliminate the bioburden for the patient.

Medication Recommendation Services Using Culture & Sensitivity or DNA Molecular Pathogen Testing Results

We recognize that you are an expert at interpreting these reports, however identifying treatment options that are covered by insurance and affordable for patients can be a time-consuming challenge for you and your staff.

This is our area of expertise.

Professional Arts Specialty Pharmacy offers a complimentary Culture & Sensitivity and/or DNA Molecular review service to determine the ideal topical anti-infective medication for an individual suffering from a chronic infection such as chronic sinusitis, otic, lung, skin, and nail infections as well as complicated, chronic wounds.

Patient Management Program

All patients receiving Culture & Sensitivity and/or DNA Sequencing directed therapy for wounds or skin infections from Professional Arts Specialty Pharmacy will be enrolled in our Patient Management Program. Prescribers or patients may opt-out at any time, but we find when we can collaborate closely with prescribers like you and add the program’s offerings, patients have the best clinical outcomes. The program includes initial assessments and re-assessments, when necessary, patient education, and follow-up calls to ensure the patient is on track with their therapy. The program also includes collaborative communication with you and your support personnel and patient interventions to improve patient response to therapy.

How to Get Started?

FAX

  • Patient demographics including insurance and all known drug allergies and current medications
  • Copy of the most recent culture (along with sensitivities if available) or DNA sequencing report
  • Other pertinent information or requests such as wound size and location

Assess

Pharmacists at Professional Arts Specialty Pharmacy will review all reports and pertinent information, then create a recommendation for topical therapy, taking into account the clinical assessment and patient’s prescription insurance coverage.

Recommend

We will fax a recommendation to your office for approval within 24 hours after receiving the culture and sensitivity report. If approved, we will proceed with contacting the patient, counseling on prescribed therapy, and dispensing the prescription(s) via complimentary overnight shipping.

Follow-Up

We will follow up with your patient to ensure understanding and compliance with their medication protocol and to check on their progress.

"As a practicing ENT and fellowship-trained rhinologist, I have a wide spectrum of complexity in my patient population. I rely on Professional Arts Pharmacy for clinical recommendations when I use culture-directed therapy and they are one of the few pharmacies that can provide the customized medication regimens my patients need. The fact that Professional Arts dispenses both hard-to-find commercially available and compounded medications along with the delivery devices necessary to irrigate the sinuses with antibiotics, steroids and antifungals and provides exemplary patient education differentiates it from any pharmacy I have worked with."
