PITTSBURGH, PA and CINCINNATI, OH, Jan 21, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - ONS:Edge and Advanced Care Scripts (ACS), a division of Omnicare Specialty Care Group (SCG), will collaborate throughout 2014 to support the efforts of oncology nurses nationally. ONS:Edge will bring its unparalleled understanding of and access to oncology nurses to promote ACS's distinctive specialty pharmacy services. Specifically, the initiative will use a variety of methods to highlight ways nurses can help patients afford and adhere to their treatment regimens.

Through these resources, ACS will provide tools to assist nurses in their mission to provide excellent patient care.
"We are extremely pleased to expand our existing relationship with Omnicare SCG and Advanced Care Scripts, a recognized leader in specialty pharmacy services for patients with cancer.
