Why use a delegate?

By assigning a delegate to pull patient reports, prescribers and pharmacists can improve workflow and enhance their experience with the PMP. This is because one delegate can request patient reports for multiple prescribers in an office or pharmacists in a pharmacy. 

However, the registration process and method to request reports are unique to the delegate role. For more information, please refer to the links under the "Delegate Registration" section.
