How Will These Changes Impact Community Pharmacies in Ontario? I'm curious about the potential effects on the smaller, independent pharmacies, especially the mom-and-pop shops, with the proposed changes to pharmacy payment structures. If they make this program the 1st payer instead of 2nd will the dispensing fees be slashed? If so, how will this affect pharmacy? Will it increase the risk of pharmacy deserts due to decreased viability? I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights on how these changes could reshape the landscape for community pharmacies in Ontario. #pharmacare #coverage #pharmacy

With the continuing disappearance of brick-and-mortar pharmacies, and simultaneous increasing reliance on mail-order services, I can’t help but wonder how patient access to counsel and advice about appropriate medication use is being negatively affected. Once upon a time, people relied heavily on their neighborhood pharmacist to guide usage of prescriptions, as well as suggest the right OTC treatment for a common ailment. Can the chatbots and customer reps from online pharmacies sufficiently replicate that, in a way that ensures patient safety and medication compliance? Online commerce is inevitable in the healthcare industry, but I think somehow, the role of the local pharmacist should be preserved. #Healthcare #Access #Pharmacy
