The Opioid Crisis: Pharmacy Practices to Prevent Abuse

As dispensers of prescription medication, pharmacists are on the front lines of this epidemic. What can pharmacists do to help prevent opioid abuse and overdose, keep their patients safe and, ultimately, save lives? This involves ensuring the safe and proper use of opioids by patients for whom they have been legitimately prescribed, as well as secure and safe disposal of unused opioids. In the effort to prevent diversion and misuse of opioid prescriptions, this webinar will discuss:
  • Identifying “red flags” that indicate patients struggling with an opioid use disorder
  • Best practices for working collaboratively with prescribers
  • Counseling patients suspected of opioid use disorder
  • Safe disposal of unused opioids

The KPIs of Reverse Distribution

A pharmaceutical reverse distributor is more than just a service provider who coordinates returns of your pharmacy’s unused or unsalable items. A good reverse distributor is a partner for your pharmacy business: providing data and insights about your pharmaceutical returns and inventory processes to help improve your pharmacy’s inventory management—and ultimately, your bottom line.

To understand how your vendor is performing, you must evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs) such as:

  • Turn Time
  • Collection and Reconciliation Rate
  • Excessive Return Volume
  • Percent of Returnable vs. Non-returnable inventory
  • Pharmacy-Caused Non-returnable
