The Essential Tech Stack for Pharmacy Owners

At the Fall 2024 Total Pharmacy Solutions Summit, held virtually on October 19, Lisa Faast, PharmD, Founder and CEO of Diversify Rx, talked about the work her company is doing in pharmacies across the country and how technology has adapted as a tool for pharmacists. Her session, titled “The Essential Tech Stack for Pharmacy Owners,” focused on the software and physical technology essential to pharmacies to grow and streamline their businesses.

“The software and the tech that every pharmacy needs is a pharmacy management system, often referred to as a PMS,” said Faast. She started her presentation discussing the necessary functions a PMS can provide for pharmacists. Faast also mentioned how she is constantly asked which PMS is the best, and she cleared the air by saying “It’s the one that you just get.”

Aside from PMS, Faast also delved into other areas of technology in the pharmacy, like point-of-sale systems (POS) that handle transactions and appointment systems that better facilitate pharmacist-patient relationships. She also explored how pharmacy owners can use technology to boost marketing efforts, and more importantly, profits.
