    How it is going to go

    Walgreens changing prescription procedure | www.azstarnet.com ®

    In the article mention is made of 'retraining'. New word for bullying.

    Is this the hub-and-spoke model?
    Looks a good idea on paper for economies of scale.
    I just wonder how resilient the system is.
    A flu epidemic in the locality of the warehouse dispensary?
    Problem with transport infrastructure?
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    Re: How it is going to go

    according to the article quote 'to fill many prescriptions at a service center in Tempe and send them back to local stores for customers to pick up. The goal is to allow pharmacists to spend more time talking to patients face to face'

    is not a bad idea if everything goes smoothly, talk to and check with patient face to face every prescribed medicines. The problem is carers or representatives are coming in instead of patients. Patient confidentiality issue. Then you have to spend time to do the final check away from the carers or representatives while the carers or representatives are waiting before giving it out.

    mmm. When did that ever happen for long.

    I think the idea is that the final check is done in Tempe, wherever that is. Sounds like it ought to be staffed by temps!
    ....just my opinion
