Are any of you experiencing this notion by Corp that Supply Chain can handle the ordering and supplying Medications?

I guess I do not quite sure about your question. How would that work? I would think a Pharmacist would have to be involved some how/some where. The notion that just anyone can order and supply medications is fascinating to me.
Can you supply more details about how this would work?

Thank You Bobbi for your comment, I'm with you I don't think it would work. There are very naive people in Corp looking for "money" and they forget how much everyday a buyer saves them lots of money by finding errors from the vendor to the wholesaler.

Hi Pam,
We have not heard anything to this effect at our system.
I would have a hard time imagining how this would work.
