With the recent changes introduced by the Affordable Care Act, medication compliance is increasingly important not only for the health of patients, but also for health care providers. Medication non-compliance can lead to readmissions, which have a negative financial impact on the health care organization itself.
Pharmacy Solutions for the Rural Health Community
Fulfilling prescriptions at the point of care not only improves medication compliance, but also captures that teachable moment between clinician and patient, ensuring not only that the patient has the medication in hand, but also that they understand why it is important and how to take it. In communities without convenient access to retail pharmacies, point of care prescription fulfillment also removes significant barriers for those patients. Moreover, it allows hospital pharmacies to capture revenue that would have otherwise been lost.
