The rising role of pharmacists in managing health and costs

Medication non-adherence is a significant factor in healthcare costs, especially with the growing trend toward value-based reimbursements. This makes it essential for healthcare executives to become more strategic and build relationships with pharmacy leaders to extend their services beyond the walls of the hospital.
