As cost pressures increase, our
customers must continue to strengthen
the financial and operational efficiency
of their pharmacies. Whether through
improving cash flow through better
inventory and claims management,
or by driving compliance and patient
safety initiatives, our business consulting
services can help both small and
large pharmacies achieve meaningful
improvements. Further enhancements
can be made through deploying our
technology offerings, which help
improve productivity through workflow
and dispensing automation without
sacrificing accuracy. Our unit-dose and
multi-dose solutions are scalable and
can meaningfully enhance pharmacy
efficiency and patient safety, especially
in a hospital or long term care setting.
As demands on the healthcare
system increase, both community
pharmacies and health systems have
an opportunity to expand their offerings
beyond their traditional roles. Our
advanced offerings for our health
systems customers cover three key
areas: quality care solutions, market
growth solutions, and cost control
solutions. Whether through helping
hospitals manage an expansion in
oncology care or through helping
support a health system’s medication
policies, processes, and patient-level
medication tracking, our quality care
solutions enhance the coordination of
care. Our cost control solutions extend
well beyond inventory management
services to include performance
assessments of all areas of institutional
pharmacy operations. As our provider
and manufacturer customers expand
beyond traditional services to meet
the needs of a changing marketplace,
our ultimate goal is their success.
