Whether working in a hospital, long-term care facility, or retail setting, pharmacists have always been a critical partner in the health and well-being of the patient. The Pandemic put a bigger spotlight on this essential health care professional because they had to quickly pivot to get their patients their medications with increased safety and speed. The new normal added extra hours and additional responsibilities to already-stretched pharmacists.

The demands of pharmacists are not subsiding. And given the uncertainty with variations of COVID-19 and the healthcare environment, pharmacy managers have to think  ahead about staffing needs. Pharmacist On-Demand Services (PODS), developed by IND Consulting, wants the managers to know they can turn to them. 

PODS collaborates with pharmacies to ensure they always have a well-staffed team with highly skilled pharmaceutical professionals. PODS’ licensed pharmacists—located throughout the United States—are available on short notice to supplement the existing team with a required skill set. The experienced team at PODS verify a thorough background check, license requirements, and HIPAA training.
