RSV is a common virus that can cause severe infections in high-risk infants. Synagis is a medication that can prevent RSV hospitalizations but is very expensive. RSV Logic is a clinical program designed to optimize outcomes and control costs for patients receiving Synagis through activities like clinical assessments, medication education, and 24/7 support from nurses and pharmacists. The program aims to ensure high-risk infants receive Synagis only when truly needed based on their individual risk factors and medical history.
