As pharmacists play an increasingly important role in patient care, the need has never been greater for technology-based solutions that add efficiency to operations and facilitate pharmacist-patient interactions. Pharmacists need a technology solution that makes it easier to provide patients with medications, helps manage records and meet compliance requirements, and seamlessly oversee core business operations. And, as pharmacists have made clear, that solution should be easy to use, and keep pace with changing pharmacy needs.
