Essential tips for pharmacy shutdowns
Recent pharmacy walkouts and closures at major chains highlight a critical issue: staffing shortages. Independent pharmacies are also at risk.
Here are 5 tips for pharmacy owners and managers to prepare for potential temporary closures:
- Cross-Train Staff: Train front-end staff on basic pharmacy procedures (depending on state regulations) so they can assist with paperwork like taking in prescriptions and completing end-of-day tasks.
- Stock Up on Prescriptions: Anticipate closures by keeping a surplus of routine
- prescriptions filled. This ensures patients don't miss important doses.
- Notify Patients & Physicians: Develop a call list to efficiently notify patients and local doctors of a potential closure. This gives them time to make alternative medication arrangements.
- Post Signage & Update Messages: Prepare clear signage indicating closure dates and times. Update voicemail messages to explain the situation.
- Offer Prescription Transfers: Contact nearby pharmacies to see if they can take prescription transfers during a closure. This allows patients seamless access to their medications.
