About the Award
The Managed Markets Insights & Technology Zitter Health Insights (MMIT ZHI) Patient Choice Award honors a specialty pharmacy's commitment to patients. The criteria for the award were formulated by an external awards committee made up of prominent individuals representing pharmaceutical manufacturers, payors, trade organizations, consultants, and equity research firms. Pharmacies were selected as finalists for the Patient Choice Award based on their average Net Promoter Score (NPS) from all four quarterly surveys conducted during the 2020 calendar year.

About the Survey
The MMIT ZHI survey uses a robust, statistically validated methodology and assesses numerous aspects of patient satisfaction and analyzes responses from more than 10,000 specialty pharmacy patients across all specialty pharmacy sectors each year. By leveraging an independent entity to aggregate unbiased patient feedback, specialty pharmacies can objectively assess how they are perceived by their patients, as well as benchmark how they compare to competitor performance in the areas of patient perception, access, and adherence. The NPS–an index of -100 to 100 that measures patients' willingness to recommend their pharmacy to others–is the primary metric of the survey.

Changes in federal policy and advances in science have led to a surge in FDA orphan drug approvals, providing tremendous hope to the rare disease community.

PANTHERx was recently awarded Specialty Pharmacy of the Year by the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP) and earned the inaugural Accredited Distinction in Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC).
