Today, the sky is the limit with regard to the volume and scope of third-party interfaces.

Technology-based solutions are available that can automate key pharmacy functions and workflows, eliminate paper records, provide instant access to patient drug formularies, identify coupons and rebates, automate compliance processes, facilitate delivery programs, allow complete visibility into inventory, sales and other business metrics, and so on.

Pharmacies are more efficient, and patients are better served because of third-party interfaces.
