Pharmacists are the front line of defense in preventing medication errors, but their ability to make an impact is limited by their work environment. Many pharmacists are overworked, filling hundreds of prescriptions every day. While they are dedicated to patient counseling, the majority don’t have the time needed for one-on-one meetings with every patient.

As William Kelly and T. Donald Rucker stated in the article Compelling features of a safe medication-use system, “Of all health professions, pharmacy should be leading the way and creating changes that produce a safer medication-use enviroment.” McKesson understands many pharmacists’ goal may be just this, but the the day-to-day job demands challenge their ability to meet that goal. That’s why McKesson developed EnterpriseRx. Designed by pharmacists, this advanced pharmacy management system brings more structure to the fulfillment process by redistributing responsbilites among staff to reduce administrative workload. In this way, EnterpriseRx liberates pharmacists to oversee operations and work toward their goal of improving patient safety.
