Re: Pharmacy Purchasing being taken over by Supply Chain

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?

Re: Pharmacy Purchasing being taken over by Supply Chain

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.
