WINTER 2024 I HEALTH SYSTEM • INFUSION
FROM OUR FOUNDER
In the ever-evolving world of hospital and health
system pharmacies, staying at the forefront of
technology, services, and products isn’t just about
keeping pace — it’s about ensuring your patients
receive the highest quality care and that your
operations run smoothly and effectively.
This Winter issue of 20Ways is here to support
you in that journey, highlighting the latest
advancements in clean technology, supply chain
innovations, and customized service solutions that
truly address the unique needs of your pharmacy.
Inside, you’ll find valuable insights into navigating
the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA)
and understanding the vital role centralized
medication access teams play in hospital settings,
two areas shaping the future of pharmacy
operations. And, of course, this issue would not
be complete without twenty impactful product
and service profiles designed to support your
goals — whether it’s improving patient compliance,
streamlining workflows, or strengthening
your pharmacy’s financial performance.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication
to advancing patient outcomes. We hope
this issue brings you practical tools, fresh
perspectives, and, most importantly, inspiration
to help your pharmacy continue to thrive.
