Think a large percentage of these could be triaged by an automatic system. The hardest part of that is (as always), dealing with human stupidity. So combination of automation, human operator not requiring a pharmacist (maybe RN or non-clinical), and eventual triage to a pharmacist could reduce requirements for pharmacists doing this at least 90%, probably more.
This is the one thing I agree you probably will still be required to do for the near term, but what percentage of your time do most pharmacists do this?
Both of these already exist to some extent and are well within Amazon’s wheelhouse.
Again, this is already semi-automated and don’t think you have much protection against it becoming much more automated.
Expect this will become automated too, especially with centralized data.
You’re joking, right? There are plenty of other providers who can already do this, no need for pharmacists, it was just a way to expand your scope. Would also be very easy to automate, but probably not cost efficient. Any NP can do this (even an RN with a prescription IIRC).
Aside from compounding, complex inpatient/oncology stuff, think you guys will be getting hit hard by automation in the near future.
Just like in my field, it will not replace all pharmacists, but will likely replace many.
