Medication Adherence A whopping 50% of patients do not take their medications as prescribed, meaning we have a long way to go in improving adherence in our communities. Independent pharmacies can be on the fore front of improving this number by adopting an adherence program, and even take it the next step further by adding a medication packaging service. For the first Pharmacy Marketing Simplified podcast in 2019, listen to Nicolle McClure and her guest Rob Anderson with Synergy Medical, discuss adherence, how to start a program, and ways to easily market it.

Cardinal Health sponsored several podcast episodes featuring several dynamic pharmacy professionals making a difference in our healthcare system delivery models. Nicolle McClure, president of GRX Marketing interviewed pharmacy owners and a physician to better outline the benefits of Value-based Pharmacy Care. Value-based Pharmacy care is a healthcare delivery model in which providers, including, pharmacists, hospitals and physicians, are paid based on patient health outcomes. Under value-based care agreements, providers are rewarded for helping patients improve their health, reduce the effects and incidence of chronic disease, and live healthier lives in an evidence-based way. Value-based care differs from a fee-for-service or capitated approach, in which providers are paid based on the amount of healthcare services they deliver. The “value” in value-based healthcare is derived from measuring health outcomes against the cost of delivering the outcomes. The benefits of a value-based healthcare system extend to patients, providers, payers, suppliers, and society as a whole. We thank Cardinal Health for their investment into the Pharmacy Podcast Network and supporting our interviews.

The classic definition of Marketing essentials is known as the “4 P's” – Price, Product, Promotion and Place/Position. Marketing textbooks from the 50's to the 80's always identified these factors as the fundamental ingredients of effective Marketing. But just knowing the “4 P's” for a given business enterprise does not automatically generate productive Marketing activity. The 4 P's are merely the building blocks of a concerted and sustained Marketing effort. In the same way that gathering 150lbs of carbon, iron, calcium, sodium and other natural elements and combining them with several gallons of water does NOT produce a human being, defining a particular company's 4 P's does not spontaneously result in the successful marketing of the firms' products and services. If the 4 P's are the bricks and mortar, you still need tools to build anything with them. And there are lots of tools – advertising campaigns, promotional plans, coupons, editorials, press and analyst interviews, conference papers, datasheets, product briefs, brochures and more.
