At this year’s Good Neighbor Pharmacy’s ThoughtSpot conference, there were a lot of takeaways from the show that pharmacists can implement immediately upon returning to work. There was a new Innovation and Technology Showcase on the show floor this year. AmerisourceBergen announced its plan to launch a state-of-the-art ordering system called ABC Order, which will be available to customers in 2017.
A year after its launch, AmerisourceBergen and Good Neighbor Pharmacy’s Elevate Provider Network is serving as an example of how a pharmacy services administrative organization driven by data can enhance member pharmacies’ ability to improve patient health while excelling on Star ratings measures.
