"By integrating into the PDR Network platforms, we will open new opportunities for our bio/pharmaceutical clients to reach healthcare providers with product information and financial support programs that will help their patients begin and adhere to therapy, improving health outcomes," said Shad Stastney, OptimizeRx CEO. "Through this relationship, our companies will lead the industry in delivering innovative services within EHR workflow to benefit healthcare professionals and their patients, while meeting the business needs of our biopharmaceutical clients and EHR partners."
