As CVS Health embarks on a $2 billion cost-cutting initiative, focusing on AI and automation, it’s clear that the future of pharmacy operations lies in embracing smarter, technology-driven solutions. This move follows a broader industry trend where pharmacies must balance cost efficiency with exceptional patient care. We've always believed that the key to maintaining pharmacy profitability and enhancing patient outcomes is through strategic adoption of advanced technologies. By streamlining workflows and optimizing inventory management, pharmacies can not only meet today’s challenges but also position themselves for long-term success. #PharmacyTech #HealthcareInnovation #AI #Pharmacy 

With employer healthcare costs projected to rise nearly 8% in 2025—the largest increase in over a decade—pharmacies are feeling the impact too. As employers face pressure to manage benefits spending, pharmacies are impacted through tighter reimbursements and rising costs for critical medications, including GLP-1s for chronic conditions. This squeeze not only affects pharmacies’ ability to maintain profitability but also contributes to an unsettling trend: pharmacy closures. However, by leveraging advanced inventory management, predictive analytics, and cost-saving solutions, pharmacies can optimize their operations to meet these challenges. This approach helps them maintain profitability, control costs, and continue supporting the healthcare needs of employers and their workforce. How is your pharmacy preparing to adapt to these changes? #HealthcareCosts #PharmacyEfficiency #OperationalExcellence #InventoryManagement

Pharmacies are more than just places to pick up prescriptions—they are lifelines in their communities, especially in underserved areas where access to healthcare can be limited. Unfortunately, many of these areas are at risk of becoming pharmacy deserts, where residents struggle to find the care they need. Did you know? One in eight pharmacies nationwide shut down between 2009 and 2015. Pharmacies are essential pillars in every community, providing not just medications but also vital healthcare services. That’s why it’s crucial to support them with solutions that streamline operations, manage inventory effectively, and help them stay focused on what matters most—serving their communities. Let’s work together to ensure that no community becomes a pharmacy desert. Together, we can make a difference. #PharmacyTech #HealthcareAccessibility #CommunityHealth #OrderInsite

Did you know that 96.5% of the US population lives within 10 miles of a pharmacy? Pharmacies are a cornerstone of our healthcare system, with 48.1% of the population living within 1 mile, 73.1% within 2 miles, and 88.9% within 5 miles of a pharmacy. This accessibility is crucial for ensuring patients receive timely and efficient care. However, proximity alone isn't enough. To truly improve patient care, we need to reduce the administrative burden on pharmacists and expand the scope of ailments they can treat. By freeing up pharmacists from administrative tasks, we can allow them to focus more on patient care, ultimately improving health outcomes. Technology, especially AI, plays a vital role in alleviating this administrative workload. At OrderInsite, we are committed to supporting pharmacies with innovative solutions that streamline operations and enhance patient care. Let’s work together to ensure that accessible pharmacies also mean accessible care. By leveraging technology to reduce administrative burdens, we can empower pharmacists to deliver exceptional care and improve health outcomes for all. #PharmacyAccessibility #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #PharmacyServices #OrderInsite #AIinHealthcare

Can pharmacists help states manage the burden of rising prescription drug costs? Prescription drug spending in the US surpassed $633 billion in 2022, making it the fastest-growing category of healthcare expenditures. The consequences are dire: over 1 in 4 individuals in the US struggle to afford their medications, often leading to rationing or abandoning prescriptions altogether. State governments are grappling with the challenge of balancing their budgets amid these soaring costs. Policies in Maine and New Hampshire aim to set prescription drug spending targets, but these measures alone may not be enough. Pharmacists play a crucial role in managing medication costs and ensuring patients have access to essential medications. They are on the front lines, providing education and support to patients to help them navigate these financial pressures. However, to fulfill this vital role, pharmacists need adequate support and resources to have the time to educate and inform their patients. By embracing innovative strategies and supporting pharmacists, we can work together to address the complexities of healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes. #HealthcareCosts #PharmacyLeadership #PatientCare #MedicationAdherence #HealthPolicy #PharmacyAdvocacy

Pharmacists are helping Medicare beneficiaries avoid billions in healthcare costs. Evidence-based measures for managing chronic conditions like cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes are making a significant impact by reducing complications and mortality. The Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA) has been instrumental in developing these crucial health plan measures, ensuring patients have access to their prescribed medications. Improvements in medication adherence translate to fewer fatal cardiac events, hospitalizations, and readmissions. This not only results in significant cost savings but also positively impacts individuals enrolled in health plans through insurance marketplaces. Health plans, pharmacies, pharmacists, providers, and patient engagement specialists all play a vital role in improving adherence rates. Pharmacists, as the most visited health professionals, are essential in supporting patients to take their medications as prescribed. Through innovative and evidence-based strategies, we're helping patients manage their health more effectively. Together, we can continue to drive positive outcomes and reduce healthcare costs for everyone. #HealthcareCosts #PharmacyLeadership #PatientCare #MedicationAdherence #PharmacyQualityAlliance #HealthcareInnovation
