Needs assessment
Collection of data to assess the need for a particular service or product within a defined population - to determine if a market exists for a service
Approaching steps to need assessments
What does the pt need or problem that needs to be addressed? How large is the problem?
What are the trends?
How well are the patients that need to be addressed?
Primary research
Survey, interviews, pt records, more insight with location
Secondary research
Research conducted for another purpose and publicly available and easier to obtain, stated, literature review
identify pt care services

Justify pt care services

Clinical pharmacy services
Evidence from the literature supports supports the value of clinical pharmacy services. Development of such services may depend on institutions pharmacy practice model
Hiring
Managers should take a strategic approach to recruitment and hiring. Determine if hiring team/ search committee should be used. Develop good job description. Develop screening and evaluation process. Make job offer to desirable candidate.
Retention
Engage in value proposition:
- affiliation
- work content
- career
- benefits
- compensation
- factors that motivate employees shouldn’t be in rewards and opportunities
Comprehensive model
Generalist/specialist : mixed of clinical and distribution activities - require high degree of organization independency
Patient centered/ decentral model
Clinical pharmacist and staff pharmacist - good for promotion of complete care - less attractive to specialized care pharmacists
Budgeting - planning
The budgeting process helps identify areas where operations can be improved by eliminating inefficiencies
Ex: not receiving profit from OTC
Budgeting- directing
Budgeting aids in coordinating managements decisions and actions to achieve the companies budgeted goals
EX: make a decision to make more of a profit
Budgeting- controlling
Involves the process comparing actual performance against the budgeted goals
Ex: reaches budget after putting it into place - make sure budget meets goal
Budgeting
Used in managing the operations of many pharmacy organizations - establishes specific goals, executing plans to achieve those goals, periodically comparing actual results with the goals - budget translates they pharmacy’s objectives and functional plans into monetary terms
List the 5 types of budgeting
- Operating budget
- Sales budget
- Operating expense budget
- Cash budget
- Capital budget
Size and goal of the organization will determine which budget
Operating budget
Shows the pharmacy’s anticipated revenues and expenses for the coming 6 to 12 months - used for short term planning and financial control - master budget - based upon assumptions - expected sales and expenses - like income statement
Community pharmacy operating budget
Sales of goods
Hospital pharmacy operating budget
More personal, supplies, more detailed
Sales budget
Number of prescriptions expected to be dispensed for the budget period - expected prescriptions count x average prescription price (historical price)
Operating expense budget
Payroll, rent, supplies, advertising, and taxes
Controllable costs
Marketing budgets and labor costs
Non-controllable costs
Rent and insurance, out of control of the manager
Cash budget
Anticipating cash flows from 9-12 months - derived from operating budget - needed to know for inventory purchases and other operating expenses, upper level management
Capital budget
Pharmacies planned investment in fixed assets. Common in large orgs. Ex: installation of computer system, purchase of robotic system, major renovation of the pharmacy itself
Proper budgeting depends on two processes
- Demand forecasting
2. Planning
Forecasting for existing pharmacy
Demand forecasts based on the trend of demand over the past several years. This assumption is often untrue in pharmacy due to changes in competition, regulation, economic conditions, new gov’t regulations. Must be supplemented with manager judgement - like sale % increase prediction
External factors - forecasting for an existing pharmacy
Those over which manager has no control (inflation, new regulations, changes in competition)
Internal factors - forecasting for existing pharmacy
Those which manager has some control (promotions, services, availability, marketing)
Three forecasts pharmacy managers develop
- Optimistic estimates
- Pessimistic estimates
- What managers believe most likely will occur (normal)
Forecasting for a new pharmacy
More difficult, manager develop market potential (total demand in the pharmacies market area of goods and services, developed from census records and trend reports), must try to determine the area demand - depends on marketing and competition
Fixed budget
Based on a single level of forecasted demand, the manager develops the best possible forecast demand and base revenue and expense projections on this forecast
Flexible budget
Allows budget variables expenses to change in response to changes in demands. Variable expenses- increase or decrease in direct proportion to changes in demand (COGS, prescription labels and vials), preferable for pharmacies that typically experience wide or unexpected variations in demand
