Session Description: With manufacturer restrictions heavily impacting the already strained health center financials, many entities have pursued or considered opening a pharmacy. At the same time, these restrictions have taxed the financial viability of independent pharmacies, leading to many independent pharmacies approaching health centers to buy them out. This session will delve into the many considerations to take into account before opening or acquiring an entity-owned pharmacy. Attendees will identify the factors that help indicate if a pharmacy will be sustainable, as well as review strategies to increase prescription retention rates for existing pharmacies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Assess the pros and cons of purchasing and opening an entity owned pharmacy, including evaluating the financial viability of a proposed entity-owned pharmacy.
  • Discuss strategies to maximize pharmacy utilization by FQHC patients.
  • Identify and address compliance concerns unique to entity owned pharmacies.
