When long-term Pennsylvania pharmacy owner Sherri Leon was asked to describe how the PrimeRx pharmacy technology system improves efficiency, she didn’t hesitate in her response.  “Speed,” she said.  “The system makes certain processes almost instantaneous.”

How long did those processes used to take?  “About 15-20 seconds.”  To Leon, that’s 15-20 seconds more that she now has to spend with customers.  It’s also a sure sign of just how busy today’s pharmacies have become.  Every second counts, and most pharmacists find there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.  Consider, for example, findings of the 2022 National Pharmacist Workforce Study, which found more than 60 percent of community pharmacists surveyed “said they don’t have enough time to perform their work.”
