Description
Each year, the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), in partnership with Cardinal Health, publishes the NCPA Digest, a comprehensive analysis quantifying and profiling the state of independent community pharmacy. The Digest is designed to help pharmacy owners better manage their business and provide elected officials with data to inform policymaking. Cardinal Health has been a proud sponsor of this annual report since 2008, reiterating our commitment to independent pharmacies and their ongoing success as community healthcare destinations. In this episode, Doug Hoey, CEO of NCPA, and Lisa Schwartz, NCPA’s senior director of professional affairs, discuss findings from the 2024 edition of the NCPA Digest with Brad Cochran, executive vice president, pharmaceutical and specialty distribution at Cardinal Health. From patient care services and technological trends to economic impacts and the importance of advocacy, Doug, Lisa and Brad explain how the 2024 NCPA Digest can help independent pharmacists benchmark current business performance and adopt new strategies.
