Cambridge Healthtech’s 4th Annual

Point-of-Care in the Pharmacy

Strategies and Effective Business Models to Enable Point-of-Care in the Pharmacy

August 21, 2019

 

As the US healthcare system continues to evolve, there is a growing need for increased access to affordable, convenient care. One emerging setting for such care is retail and community pharmacies. As consumers begin to see their local pharmacy, a place traditionally reserved for medications, as a stop for acute care and chronic disease management, there is a huge opportunity for growth. However, significant challenges remain including state and federal regulations, technology limitations, and payment models. At Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Point-of-Care in the Pharmacy, leaders in pharmacy strategy and implementation will discuss best practices and business models to realize this goal.
