Patient Convenience

Patients will appreciate the convenience of having prescriptions filled in-office, saving them a trip and a long wait at the pharmacy. No one wants to bother with a trip to the pharmacy when they are ill or their child is ill. Filling routine prescriptions at the pharmacy could delay the patient's return to work. By dispensing the medication in-office, you will save your patients time allowing them to return to home or work faster.

Patient Loyalty

The additional level of care you provide your patients by in-office medication dispensing will cultivate a caring and compassionate relationship with your patients.  With retail pharmacies, grocery stores, and mega retailers adding on-site clinics to their services, your in-office dispensary will help you increase patient loyalty.

Reduced Pharmacy Call Back Time

A 1999 study by the Institute of Medicine estimated that every pharmacy call-back cost physicians practices $5-$7 to pull and review the chart and return the call. With the average physician writing 30 prescriptions a day and handling nearly another 30 requests for refills, the dollars add up quickly. (Tipping the Balance of Power with Digital Patient Information, Pharmaceutical Executive, March 2002, Mary Johnston Turner)  With only 15 call backs per day, that amounts to over $25,000 of lost revenue.  Physician Pharmaceutical Corporation's Program for in-office medication dispensing will significantly decrease the amount of time, and therefore the cost, of pharmacy call-backs.

Prescription Accuracy and Compliance

Prescription non-compliance is a significant cause for hospital visits for patients taking three or more prescriptions, especially elderly patients. Furthermore, over 30% of prescriptions are never filled.
The PPC program tracks each patient's prescriptions so the physician knows what prescriptions are being taken including dosages and timing. It also ensures the physician that the patient received the medication and did not opt to ignore instructions.
