Transforming pharmacies
“Transformation” is rapidly becoming the most overused buzz word in healthcare, unless you’ve been at it for almost half a century, at which point it moves from concept to proof points. We’re talking about hospitals seeking to improve quality care outcomes and do something about drug hyperinflation costs across the entire care continuum, enterprise-wide. Really doing something about it in a tangible way.
Meet The CPS Effect.
