How On-Site Dispensing Elevates Medication Adherence and Patient Care
About Us
The Solution you Need and the Solution your Patients Deserve
A-S Medication Solutions (ASM) and its affiliates are privately owned companies founded in 1968. ASM is the leading provider of on-site dispensing and currently services over 3,600 provider dispensing sites as well as several on-site close system pharmacies. ASM is registered with the FDA, DEA and licensed with all 50 states who focuses on a closed system distribution model capable of providing medications to both clinics and pharmacies at all levels. In addition, ASM is VAWD accredited with NABP, which validates a secure medical supply chain at the highest levels by the prestigious national association of boards of pharmacy. Finally, the ASM model allows for prepackaged medications to be sent directly to on-site clinics to allow for provider dispensing and improved medication adherence on all levels.
​
This model not only supports patient access to medication but also strengthens medication management through streamlined systems that minimize delays and enhance care delivery.
​
Physicians who dispense medications directly at the point of care help eliminate common barriers to adherence. This includes eliminating the need for patients to travel to a separate pharmacy, reducing wait times for prescription refills, and minimizing the risk of skipped doses due to lack of availability. As a result, patients are more likely to initiate and maintain their medication regimens.
​
For providers asking, “How does on-site dispensing improve medication adherence?” the answer lies in simplifying the treatment journey—offering medications in the same location where care is provided dramatically improves follow-through and consistency.
Leveraging Technology for Accuracy and Compliance 1
Automated dispensing technologies are integrated within the ASM system to reduce human error and promote dosage accuracy, creating a seamless experience for both providers and patients.
​
ASM’s point-of-care dispensing model promotes efficiency and regulatory compliance while providing an added layer of safety. Dispensing errors are significantly reduced thanks to secure packaging protocols, while refill reminders and remote monitoring tools ensure continuous patient engagement.
​
ASM offers medications in prepackaged formats tailored to the needs of each clinic, optimizing pharmacy services with instant access to a wide range of pharmaceutical options. This level of customization makes it easier for providers to offer the most appropriate therapy without compromise.
Supporting Clinical Outcomes Through Education and Integration
Patient education is a key component of the ASM approach. Each dispensing interaction becomes an opportunity for providers to counsel patients on medication therapy, proper usage, and potential side effects—enhancing overall understanding and boosting improved compliance.
​
ASM’s systems are designed for simplicity and transparency. Prescription refills and medication adjustments can be managed without delays, while the integration of electronic systems ensures proper documentation for audits and quality control.
​
From the patient’s perspective, the ability to leave an appointment with their prescribed treatment in hand improves outcomes by promoting timely initiation and ongoing adherence. This immediate, in-clinic dispensing approach reinforces continuity of care and reduces the administrative burden on both ends.
​
Enhanced accessibility and fewer obstacles make it easier for patients to follow their prescribed medication plans, especially in chronic care settings where long-term compliance is essential. ASM supports this with flexible distribution models and a commitment to operational excellence across its network.
​
The question, “How does on-site dispensing improve medication adherence?” is answered through convenience, accuracy, and patient-focused care that elevates the standard of service.
