Unlock Pharmacy Growth: Our Special Issue on Empowering Pharmacy Staff Through Technology & Workflow
UP NEXT | The next issue of PTMReview will feature a cover story that addresses how to take action in your pharmacy to unlock growth in services.
Community pharmacy is undergoing a fundamental shift, evolving from a focus on shortening wait times for dispensing to being designed around quality patient care. This transformation involves embracing new billable clinical services like immunizations, point-of-care testing, medication management, and chronic disease management. But successfully implementing these services and driving profitability requires more than just adding programs; it demands a critical look at workflow and how your team operates.
The next issue of PTMReview will feature a cover story that addresses how to take action in your pharmacy to unlock growth in services: "Automation and Workflows: The Key to Elevating Pharmacy Staff and Driving Growth.”
