5 Issues Facing Pharmacies Today:

1. Drug shortages: Drug shortages can occur from a variety of different reasons including natural disasters, raw material issues, supply issues and discontinuations. Unfortunately, there is no immediate solution for these drug shortages and they will usually cause the price of the medication to increase when they are made available.
2. Sterile compounding: Sterile compound regulations for pharmacies have changed drastically over the past few years. “Compounded Sterile Preparations Pharmacy ensures that sterile preparations meet the clinical needs of patients, satisfying quality, safety, and environmental control requirements in all phases of preparation, storage, transportation, and administration in compliance with established standards, regulations, and professional best practices. Currently there are more than 950 BPS Board Certified Sterile Compounding Pharmacists.” (Source)
3. Workforce Issues: The number of pharmacy schools has doubled over the last 30 years, resulting in a surplus of pharmacists in many areas. The competitiveness of pharmacy programs has decreased, which means the candidates are less qualified. (Source) 
4. CMS Measures: Since the passing of the Affordable Care Act, hospitals have seen a shift in “value-based reimbursement”. This model incentivizes the quality of patient care over the quantity and is meant to improve patient care. Pharmacies play a key role in assisting hospitals to increase their quality of care by minimizing the rates of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) and must take on this challenge in order to properly get reimbursed. 
5. Opioid epidemic: Nearly 2 million Americans age 12 or older report having abused or been dependent on opioids. “Since pharmacists are on the front lines of dispensing opioids medication they can oftentimes be the first line of defense by engaging in prevention treatment efforts of opioid abuse.” (Source: CDC) Pharmacists must go above and beyond to recognize symptoms of abuse by learning how to properly communicate with patients and monitor their medication dosage to make sure they aren’t stockpiling and managing refill requirements.
