In-office physician dispensing of medications allows for a streamlined healthcare process: rather than leaving the doctor’s office, traveling to a retail pharmacy, and waiting for the pharmacy to have medications available, patients can receive their medicine directly from their doctors. Point of care dispensing saves time and effort for patients, improving their satisfaction and speeding up their healing process by providing medicine on-site.
The efficiency of physician dispensing also improves patient compliance, as patients are less likely to neglect to pick up prescriptions when they are provided directly at point of care.
Patients are also more likely to understand and follow the instructions pertaining to their medicine when it is explained by their doctor upon receiving. This improves patient adherence to physician instructions and expedites the healing process.
In-office physician dispensing is beneficial to doctors as well, offering the opportunity to increase revenue with this ancillary service.
