Case Study: National Association of Boards of Pharmacy achieves greater business agility with FlexRule

National Association of Boards of Pharmacy selects FlexRule to increase business agility

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), a nonprofit that helps protect public health by supporting member boards of pharmacy, needed a way to keep pace with complex, constantly changing laws and operational requirements across all 50 states. Its existing approach of encoding rules directly into software would have been too slow and inflexible, especially given the state-by-state variation in pharmacy compliance requirements. To address this challenge, NABP turned to FlexRule.

FlexRule provided an intelligent process automation and business rules platform that let NABP model, test, deploy, and enforce separate rulesets for each state, while using a .NET-friendly, REST-enabled environment that fit its cloud and service architecture. The solution improved agility, simplified rule management and testing, and reduced the burden on IT and business teams by making it easier to adapt quickly to legal changes. While no specific numerical metrics were given, FlexRule helped NABP digitize its policies and significantly accelerate compliance response across jurisdictions.
