When it comes to a practice, having the ability to manage pharmacies within the system is crucial. Practices can easily facilitate and streamline this process by using Pharmacy within CareStack. With this you can easily assign patients to their preferred pharmacies and view the default pharmacy on the patient overview. Furthermore, practices can improve care coordination and facilitate better communication between providers and pharmacies by keeping a list of location-specific pharmacies which they collaborate with and also integrate new ones into the system.
