Are Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Services Provided?
Yes, PHS provides consulting services that cover almost any pharmaceutical service including retail, long-term care, and acute care.

These include analyzing whether to establish a pharmacy service and determining the improvement potential of an existing service. In addition to operational reviews, projects could be narrow in scope, with assessment and analysis of automation, third party and charge master review; establishment of pharmacy managed clinic services, marketing plan development and service consolidation. In many cases these programs are revenue generating and attempt to be profitable to the parent organization. The services of PHS can identify additional revenue and service offerings, address the operating costs of running an ACP and assess the profitability of the pharmacy offering.
