They are leveraging modern technologies to positively affect patient care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the cost of care. The technologies help prescribers and pharmacists to enable the storage of structured patient data, facilitate e-prescribing, dispense and administer medicines, automate and improve pharmacy process, and track the availability of drugs at the pharmacy and the physician. On the technology front, Automation and Internet of Things (IoT) are likely to shift the focus of next-generation pharmacists. The automation improves patient safety while allowing the pharmacist to engage with customers, answering their questions regarding medicines and their health. On the other hand, IoT extends the availability and affordability of health-monitoring technology such as wearable devices that monitor patient health round the clock. Into the bargain, augmented reality (AR) devices such as the Microsoft HoloLens are disrupting medicine by enabling pharmacists to view health records and prescription data right before their eyes. Furthermore, advanced analytics is empowering pharmacies to monitor drug spend and utilization and improving staff efficiency by reducing time spent gathering the data. From the perspective of security, pharmacies are setting radio frequency identification (RFID) tags on medications to increase the accuracy and efficacy of drug allocation. Technologies like these enhance the pharmacies' competence in delivering patient-centric services. Our goal with this special edition is to highlight the best-of-breed pharmacy management solution providers that leverage innovative technologies to help forward-looking pharmacies reinvent themselves while keeping patient care at the heart of their business. This edition also blends thought leadership from subject matter experts with real stories on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.Write us your thoughts.High-Tech Pharmacy*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staffPhone:510-556-2280Fax:510-894-8405sales@healthcaretechoutlook.comeditor@healthcaretechoutlook.commarketing@healthcaretechoutlook.comContact Us:
