Chain community pharmacy

Financial reports used in independent pharmacy practice are very similar to those used in chain community pharmacies. Managers in chain community pharmacies pay attention to the same financial ratios and key indicators on balance sheets and income statements. It was with this knowledge that Marco and Diana decided to spend some time with WHP s owner to gain more insight into the preparation and review of financial reports in community pharmacy practice. [Pg.256]

The OIG has also recently completed several investigations into so-called partial-fill prescriptions dispensed by community pharmacies. A partial-fill prescription situation arose when a pharmacy did not have the full amount of the requested medication on hand to complete the order. The common industry standard was to dispense a partial amount of the prescription and ask the customer to return for the balance of the medication in a few days time. Pharmacies would often bill third-party payers such as state Medicaid programs for the full amount of the prescriptions in such cases, even though many of the patients never returned to the pharmacy to pick up the balance of their pills. A whistleblower notified the federal government that the chain pharmacy he worked for often failed to provide partial refunds to third-party payers for prescriptions wherein the partial fills were dispensed and the balance of the pills were never picked up by customers, a violation of the... [Pg.437]

The majority of pharmaceuticals are distributed through wholesalers to retail pharmacies, with large pharmacy chains now dominating the market.

NCPA was instrumental in the formation and funding of two major foundations that will benefit community pharmacy in 1999.

The board of directors is composed of the CEOs of NCPA and the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS). The second is the result of the distribution of funds from a 723 million... [Pg.570]

When considering dispensing at small scale such as in a community pharmacy and small hospitals, the pharmacist will, personally, not produce every medicinal product. He has to rely on industry and other (hospital) pharmacies but will need product knowledge to fulfil his positiOTi in the supply chain. [Pg.538]

The door does not close very well or has been left open for a prolonged time (the most common interruption of the cold chain in community pharmacies seems to be caused by an open door). [Pg.648]

With the Code of Ethics suggesting that pharmacists not discuss drug therapies with their patients, the profession lost sight of the need for pharmacists to communicate effectively with patients and other health care professionals. As the number of hospital and chain pharmacies expanded, resulting in pharmacists being more likely to be employees rather than business owners, the importance of practice management skills was not stressed in schools of pharmacy. Ironically, studies such as the Dichter Report commissioned by the APhA revealed that consumers regarded pharmacists more as merchants than as health care professionals (Maine and Penna, 1996). [Pg.7]
