Pharmacy has come a long way since pharmacists compounded 80 percent of the prescriptions they filled. Even then, though, the practice of Pharmacy was about nothing more than providing healthcare to patients.
Since that time, however, outside interests have continued their attempt to make the practice of Pharmacy about business rather than healthcare.
Depreciating the patient-pharmacist relationship.
Reducing margins.
Characterizing Pharmacists as pill-counters instead of patient counselors.
Diminishing the value of pharmacists’ role in healthcare.
All of which threaten the quality of patient healthcare.
And the practice of Pharmacy.
The Pharmacy industry needs a strategy that both emphasizes the needs of patients and values the role of manufacturers—not the interests of outsiders. This paradigm shift represents The New Business of Pharmacy.
This New Business of Pharmacy dictates that a Pharmacy must have not just efficient, state-of-the-art technology in place, but also:
| a Workflow-driven solution that offers chain-wide load balancing and increased efficiency |
| a partnership with the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry to generate new revenue streams |
| a retail-mail strategy that retains the pharmacist-patient relationship while leveraging the advantages and cost savings of robotics |
| an electronic healthcare record controlled by patients, accessible 24-7 |
| a focus on the pharmacist’s role in healthcare beyond pill-counting to realize the revenue available through MTM and other programs |
For 25 years, National Health Systems has developed solutions that empower pharmacists to perform the tasks patients rely on while regaining lost profitability and ground lost to PBMs.
PDX-Rx.com is the only technology provider in the industry with a Solution to every objective of the New Business of Pharmacy. |
