AmerisourceBergen announced four key areas of focus for independent community pharmacies and their supporting in the year during the general session event:
- Sustainability: Offering impactful solutions that help protect independent pharmacy operations during today’s challenging business and health care environments and market evolution.
- Digital & Technological Advancement: Continuing to build solutions that attract new customers while retaining existing ones through Good Neighbor Pharmacy digital platforms, telemedicine, and eCommerce offerings.
- Diversifying Pharmacy Profitability: Supporting business expansion that diversifies pharmacy profitability – beyond dispensing – such as convenience packaging, clinical services, point-of-care testing, and more.
- Leading Advocacy Efforts: Advocating at both federal and state levels to encourage payment reform and expansion of the pharmacists’ scope of practice.
“If last year’s ThoughtSpot was a rally cry for pharmacists to shout their unique stories from the rooftops, this year’s huddle was all about evolving the game and leaving it all on the field. Protecting the business of independent community pharmacy takes teamwork, and we believe that we have the right team of experts and set of solutions in place to help pharmacies reach the next level of ownership and practice.
We are committed to helping our independent community pharmacies expand their services, advocate for themselves and their businesses, and connect with customers in new ways. Put simply, we want to give them more opportunities to do what they do best: deliver personalized, standout care to patients,” concluded Brian Nightengale, RPh, PhD, President of Good Neighbor Pharmacy.
