Labor shortages in pharmacy services significantly impact health systems’ ability to deliver effective patient care. Shortages can lead to delays in medication dispensing, increased errors, and reduced patient interaction while also contributing to burnout and turnover that compounds labor constraints. From a financial perspective, health systems could lose valuable dollars due to reliance on contract labor, continuous training and onboarding as a result of high turnover, decreased revenue from clinical services, and various operational demands directly related to short-staffed pharmacies. Click through the interactive experience below to explore strategies for success in offsetting labor and resource constraints to achieve more.
