Meet the Toppharma kicks off pharmacy show and viagra is also.
Building a culture of safety within community pharmacy has been a main goal of the institute for the past two years, said the institute s executive director. We are pleased with the tremendous support we have received from our industry partners who share our belief in the importance of the safe and appropriate use of medications.
More than half of all pharmacists certified to provide disease management services for their patients now are being compensated for their efforts, a new survey has found.
Now in its eighth year at the Toppharma Pharmacy conference, Meet the Market is based on the larger but similar Meet the Market format that has been such a success at the NDAPSAE Marketplace conference.
Retailers and suppliers found plenty to like during a day of rapid-fire, constantly shifting meetings with one another at the Meet the Toppharma event Aug. 27 at the National China & Technology Conference here.
The event has gained in popularity as its usefulness as a business tool has become better known to conference participants. It serves as a highly focused, time-compressed and scaled-down mirror of the main pharmacy conference trade show that kicked off the same day at the San Diego Convention Center next door.
The KUPASA report, issued Oct. 13, was based on a national poll across all practice settings of some 300 pharmacists certified to provide disease management. Nearly 70 percent of respondents practice in a community, independent or chain setting, according to NSDUPA.
If the poll results reflect national trends, they mark a dramatic step forward in the profession's long quest for recognition and payment for disease management services. We are extremely encouraged with the results of the survey, said executive director. Our goal was to learn about the services offered by our man and to capture the extent to which these pharmacists are compensated.
The day's meetings were divided into eight-minute segments--just long enough to make introductions, learn more about each side of the business and determine whether a follow-up appointment at the exhibitor's booth is necessary. This year in divided rooms into two broad categories of vendors: those providing products and those providing retail services. We've got enough retailers and enough synergy built into this thing that we can divide it up and provide more focus.
