PicassoMD and Perfecting Peds Partner to Improve Pediatric Specialty Care Access

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership between PicassoMD and Perfecting Peds, a leading pediatric pharmacy digital solution that provides expert medication management and pharmacy guidance for children with complex medical needs.

This collaboration enhances how providers access real-time pharmacy expertise, ensuring that pediatric and young adult patients receive safe, effective, and cost-conscious medication solutions.

Medication management for pediatric patients presents unique challenges, from therapy selections and dosage adjustments to navigating insurance barriers. Providers often struggle to find timely pharmacy guidance tailored to pediatric care. 

Perfecting Peds bridges this gap by offering expert pediatric pharmacy consultations, and through its partnership with PicassoMD, providers now have even greater access to real-time pharmacy-driven insights, not just for pediatric cases but also for adult patients.

This partnership provides many benefits for both patients and providers:

• Faster Access to Pharmacy Expertise: Providers can quickly consult with clinical pharmacists specializing in pediatric and young adult medications, reducing unnecessary referrals and medication-related complications.
• Improved Medication Management: With expert pharmacy guidance, providers can make more informed prescribing decisions, ensuring optimal dosing, adherence, and patient safety.
• Better Health Outcomes: Effective medication strategies lead to improved treatment plans, reducing adverse drug reactions and optimizing therapeutic outcomes.

Cost-Effective Solutions: By streamlining medication selection and prior authorization support, this partnership helps reduce medication costs and unnecessary prescriptions.

Reza Sanai, MD, Co-CEO of PicassoMD, highlights the significance of this collaboration:

“PicassoMD’s collaboration with Perfecting Peds enhances the speed and quality of care by seamlessly integrating their network of expert pharmacists with our pediatric and adult healthcare providers. This partnership enables us to scale specialized pharmacy support for both routine and complex patient needs, transforming the way our pediatric and primary care teams deliver exceptional care.”

Jena Quinn, PharmD, BCPPS, CEO and Co-Founder of Perfecting Peds, echoes this sentiment:

“Providers lose their pediatric clinical pharmacy specialists’ expertise as soon as patients are discharged from the hospital. We believe this is fundamentally wrong and that patients with medical complexity and high-risk drug profiles deserve such expertise, longitudinally. Our partnership with PicassoMD allows this to happen, on-demand, at-scale, and unbound by geography or care setting.”

This partnership represents a major step forward in making expert pharmacy support more accessible and efficient. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance how medication-related decisions are made across healthcare settings.
