Separating AI Hype from Clinical Reality AI Workshop | September 2026-Beyond the Prescription: AI-Powered GI Medication Access

Pdf Summary

Forus is a platform designed to simplify and automate medication access, especially for GI providers and patients. It replaces a highly manual, time-consuming workflow that typically involves prior authorizations, benefit checks, faxing, appeals, pharmacy routing, and frequent follow-up calls.<br /><br />The company positions itself as an end-to-end solution that helps providers improve patient access, accelerate time to therapy, and reduce administrative burden. Forus supports both buy-and-bill and pharmacy fulfillment, and it is free for providers and patients.<br /><br />A major feature is real-time visibility into every prescription, allowing care teams to track patient status and complete action items in one place. Forus also uses AI and a Clinical Intelligence team to recommend the best next step in the access process, grounded in real clinical workflows and provider expertise.<br /><br />The platform is already used by thousands of GI providers, from large groups to independent practices, and has ecosystem partnerships to strengthen its technology and clinical capabilities. Reported outcomes include faster prescription-to-PA submission and approval, lower burnout, and improved access.<br /><br />Forus also emphasizes fast onboarding: practices can create an account online in about 23 minutes and may go live the same day, with dedicated customer success and onboarding support.<br /><br />The presentation concludes with patient testimonials highlighting reduced delays, insurance navigation help, and successful access to expensive medications at little or no cost.
