PharMEDium Earns Second Consecutive Center of Excellence Recognition from BenchmarkPortal

Lake Forest, Ill. – Today, PharMEDium Services, LLC, a part of AmerisourceBergen, announced the certification of its Customer Service Center as a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal. This marks the second year PharMEDium has been named a recipient of this prestigious industry award.
“When working with our customers, we always keep the patients they serve top of mind,” said Jeff Nordquist, Vice President of Marketing, Business Development, and Customer Service at PharMEDium. “We don’t want to just meet patient needs, we want to exceed expectations and help our partners to provide the highest-quality care. Our continued recognition by BenchmarkPortal, with its esteemed Center of Excellence distinction, highlights our dedication and commitment to providing unsurpassed customer service.”
 
A contact center that has been certified as a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal has met or sur­passed rigorous standards of efficiency and effectiveness. Centers achieve the Center of Excellence distinction based on best-practice metrics drawn from the world’s largest database of objective and quantitative data. The BenchmarkPortal team audits and verifies the center’s key performance indicators and compares that data to data from other peer organizations, recognizing the top ten percent as Centers of Excellence.
 
“Maintaining high levels of excellence in the center over a period of years is a won­derful testimony to the contact center management team, the frontline agents - as well as senior managers, who support and encourage this excellence. PharMEDium call center professionals have shown exceptional dedication and results, for which I commend them,” said Bruce Belfiore, CEO, BenchmarkPortal. “Contact centers that achieve certification are remarkable in their abilities to balance a commitment to service excellence with cost-effective service strategies.”
