Amazon reportedly begins offering its One Medical providers access to virtual consults with its Amazon Pharmacy pharmacists as part of a pilot project geared towards improving outcomes for high-risk patients with complex medication regimens.

Webinars
January 24 (Wednesday) noon ET. “Medication Management Redefined.” Sponsor: DrFirst. Presenters: Nick Barger, PharmD, VP of product, DrFirst; Caleb Dunn, PharmD, MS, senior product manager, DrFirst.

Join this first chapter of an ongoing conversation about what medication management should be, how to deliver greater benefits today, and how to prepare for the future. Elevating your solution and customer benefits isn’t as hard, scary, or economically challenging as you may think.
