Streamlining Patient Access: How In-Office Biologic Administration Improves Adherence and Outcomes in Severe Asthma Care
Caring for patients with severe asthma means staying ahead of flares and helping them breathe easier every day.
Biologic therapies offer powerful tools to reduce exacerbations and support better long-term outcomes, but only when patients can access them reliably.
Unfortunately, in the real world, staying on track with treatment isn’t always easy, and adherence continues to be one of the most significant barriers to treatment success.
At Altus Biologics, we believe that transforming how and where patients receive their asthma biologics can significantly improve adherence, outcomes, and your practice’s operational flow.
That’s why we’re committed to helping you bring biologic administration in-office, right where patients already feel safe, supported, and cared for.
The Dilemma with Traditional Biologic Access
Biologic therapy has revolutionized severe asthma care, especially for patients with eosinophilic or allergic phenotypes. But delivering these life-changing treatments through specialty pharmacies or at-home self-injection often introduces unnecessary friction.
Here’s where patients frequently fall off course:
Delays from Specialty Pharmacies
Many of your patients wait days, or even weeks, for their biologics to ship.
Additionally, the process of ordering their medication, including prior authorizations, step therapy requirements, and coordination between pharmacy, payer, and patient, slows things down and can prove overwhelming for many patients, increasing the risk of missed doses and exacerbations.
Poor Adherence with Self-Injection
While self-injection offers convenience, it’s not always the right fit.
Many patients may struggle with needle anxiety, improper technique, which can lead to complications, or forget to administer their dose.
Over time, these missed or incorrect doses compromise the biologic’s effectiveness.
Lack of Monitoring and Follow-Up
When therapy occurs outside your office, it’s harder to ensure your patients are staying on track. Missed appointments or inconsistently documented outcomes limit your ability to intervene early and adjust care when needed.
Why In-Office Biologic Administration Makes All the Difference
Shifting biologic administration to your practice, under your roof and your team’s oversight, can eliminate many of these barriers.
Here’s how in-office administration benefits both your patients and your practice:
Enhanced Adherence Through Accountability
Having regular appointments creates a rhythm.
When patients know they’ll receive their medication on-site at a set interval, adherence improves dramatically. Allowing you and your team greater control in ensuring no dose is missed, delayed, or misadministered.
Clinical Oversight and Early Intervention
Every visit is an opportunity for you to assess symptoms, adjust medications, and detect complications early.
By offering in-office biologic therapy, you’ll have real-time insight into how each patient is responding, allowing you to tailor therapy with confidence.
Streamlined Access with Buy-and-Bill
Our buy-and-bill model puts you in control. Rather than relying on third-party shipping, which can result in delays, your team maintains the inventory and administers treatment directly. This creates fewer headaches for your staff and faster access for your patients.
