Description:

Skipta was founded by Dr. Theodore Search, Pharm.D., an infusion pharmacist. While preparing to treat a patient discharged into his care, Ted needed to consult with another infusion pharmacist regarding the appropriate dosage of a new chemotherapy product to administer. Reluctant to tap into digital channels and social networks, due to the clinical nature of the conversation, an unmet need was identified: a place where like-minded verified healthcare professionals could communicate and collaborate on patient cases across the country. Skipta’s first community, Pharmacist Society, was established for credentialed practitioners in 2009. Today, the Skipta network has grown to comprise more than 30 specialized online medical communities, and continues to grow based on healthcare professional demand. Skipta partners with like-minded stakeholders within the life-sciences industry that support our mission of enhancing the communication and collaboration of healthcare professionals and empowering them to be more effective, efficient and successful. The Skipta network provides online forums and a range of tools to interact with and engage healthcare professionals in a trusted and specialized digital environment.
