The rate of change in technology is accelerating exponentially and artificial intelligence, or AI, is at the centre of this change. Now more than ever, the pharmaceutical industry is needing to revolutionise how they leverage the use of this technology to improve workflow, enhance health outcomes and lower operating costs in order to ensure ongoing success. At the front line of patient care, pharmacy has the ability to utilise AI technology to expand healthcare offerings and focus more on health management rather than medicine distribution. Improving technology in pharmacy places priority on the patient and can increase the sustainability of pharmacy in Australia - increased collaboration, improved monitoring of patients and empowerment of individuals in healthcare management are all features which can be achieved by AI. For this to happen, it requires pharmacists and business owners to have the required vision, innovation and passion to be able to bridge the gap between the present and the future. Join Cathie Reid, co-founder of the Epic Group, as she leads pharmacists into the digital future and learn how AI can support healthcare initiatives and facilitate engagement of patients.
