OUTPATIENT PHARMACY EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Cost efficiency and effectiveness is measured relative to market goals and determined by location, layout, fixtures & equipment, process, inventory, etc. Outpatient pharmacy success depends on both efficiency and effectiveness whereas retail looks for lowest cost.
OUT-CYCLING AND TIME-TO-DELIVERY
Out-cycling is essential to outpatient pharmacy operations owing to the very narrow window of opportunity for delivery. This process begins before the patient arrives at the hospital and continues through the stay.
