The term “pain point” is often used to describe these challenges, and it is an apt description. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a pain point as “something that is a recurring source of trouble, annoyance, or distress.” Unfortunately, many tasks associated with operating a pharmacy meet this definition.
The list is certainly long. But there are solutions. Resources are available to help pharmacists navigate these challenges, most notably including technology-based solutions that can automate workflows and seamlessly perform tasks that used to require chunks of staff time. The PrimeRx pharmacy software solution is a good example. With PrimeRx a pharmacist can have confidence that core functions are seamlessly managed, and problems solved.
