BIOPLUS More recently , BioPlus also announced its advanced operational processes that allow accelerated delivery of certain generic oncology medications , guaranteeing that they are ready to ship within 24 hours of the pharmacy receiving a complete referral . “ Until now , no other pharmacy has ever eliminated the excess waiting period — the time from diagnosis to starting therapy — that cancer patients have historically experienced when prescribed treatment . We think of it as ‘ hope delivered in 24 hours ,’” notes Gagle .
The organisation has experienced rapid growth over the past nine years , increasing its workforce of 80 to over 500 today , and generating US $ 1.5bn in revenue .
" I think the growth has been a combination of many different factors ," Gagle says . " It starts with our patient focus and our commitment to be the premier speciality pharmacy in the nation .
" I also think BioPlus has valued the role of technology and how our technology investments have helped us maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace . Our speciality pharmacy has always focused on being ‘ fast & easy ’ for our doctors and patients , and technology is essential to meeting that goal ."
Gagle also explains that BioPlus has dedicated staff across every department , with a strong culture that has been built over the years , which includes giving back to the greater community . Playing off the ‘ Power of 2 ’ theme at BioPlus , there ’ s a ‘ 2gether program ’ that provides a lifesaving antibiotic through a partnership with OneWorld Health for every referral received at BioPlus . It ’ s part of BioPlus ’ global vision to ‘ heal the world 2gether ’, helping to ensure patients across town and around the world have access to lifesaving and lifesustaining medications .
