Independent Pharmacy in
Children’s Hospital improves
discharged patient wait times
and workflow with RMS’
Point-of-Sale solutions.
C A S E S T U D Y
Independent Pharmacy in Children’s Hospital
improves discharged patient wait times and workflow
with RMS’ Point-of-Sale solutions.
As Skywalk Pharmacy rapidly became the go-to experts for the 240-bed pediatric
hospital, Jake and his team opened two additional locations in 2014 in Delafield
and New Berlin.
With the main campus devoted to the discharge process and transitions of
care for patients going home, the second location offers clinical services, such
as a medication synchronization program, and other higher-touch services that
can’t be provided in a discharge setting. The third location, a remote dispensing
site, is conveniently located in the suburbs and is much closer to the patients
so they can continue to pick up their prescriptions after they’ve been discharged
from the hospital.
Small Storefronts and Logistical Mishaps
While Skywalk Pharmacy is known as the best choice for all children’s medica-
tion and offers front-end items that can’t be found anywhere else, the pharmacy’s
small storefront and multi-location network presented logistical problems which
caused workflow, multi-store reporting and customer service mishaps.
“Being the discharge pharmacy at a hospital, we fill about 300 prescriptions a
day at the main location. That’s about 150 new patients with at least two pre-
scriptions that are coming in the door every day. We’ll go two hours with nobody
in the store and then ten people wanting to be discharged at the same time.
When Jake Olson was asked
to open Skywalk Pharmacy in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2003,
it was the first independently-
owned community pharmacy
located in a children’s hospital
in the United States.
His team’s mission was, and
still is to this day, to provide
high-quality specialized pediatric
pharmacy service to children
and families who have chronic
diseases and special needs that
cannot be easily addressed by
most pharmacies.
