20 Questions: Selecting the Right Compounding Software for Your Practice (PFM On-demand)

Overview

Compounding pharmacies are unique in their specialty and patient demographics/needs. Compounding management software is therefore an essential tool that empowers compounding pharmacists to successfully keep records of patients, automate workflows, and meet regulatory compliance, among other features—but how do you know which one is right for your practice?

This activity is designed to stimulate thought on the different facets of compounding pharmacy management (e.g. inventory management, compliance, master formulations, and reporting) through a series of 20 compounding management-specific questions to facilitate the decision-making process when selecting compounding software.

Open to providers starting a compounding pharmacy or building on an existing one, this program aims to further enhance awareness of engaging pharmacy management software tailored to compounding practice to improve internal processes specific to this specialty pharmacy to ultimately deliver optimal patient outcomes.
