Drug Store News Chain Pharm 1998 Jan; 8:

Abstract:

The need for technology advances to improve retail pharmacy productivity and free up pharmacist time for patient contact and consulting is discussed. It was noted that state-of-the-art equipment raises the speed and accuracy in dispensing and allows pharmacists more face-to-face time with patients. Electronic payments and billings enhance cash flow, and more and more pharmacy chains are using World Wide Web sites on the Internet to advertise services.
