“Your tech stack is doing paperwork… not patient follow-up.”

We see it all the time: the pharmacy team wants to call, counsel, and coordinate—but the workflow is packed with handoffs, status checks, and admin tasks that slow everything down.

Nimble’s demo pages claim medication adherence can improve by 26–40% when pharmacies modernize operations and reduce busywork because fewer friction points at the point of care means more consistent action, not just more data.

Independents don’t need another dashboard. They need time back for pharmacist-led relationships, plus point-of-care targeting that helps patients actually stay on therapy.

From Requirement to Responsibility: Rethinking the Role of CE in Pharmacy

Continuing education is no longer just about checking a box or meeting a deadline.

In today’s pharmacy environment, CE is becoming something much bigger: a tool for building confidence, expanding capability, improving patient care, and preparing pharmacy teams for what comes next.

This article in the May–June issue of Dispense Times takes a closer look at how CE is evolving from a compliance requirement into a professional responsibility for both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

It challenges pharmacy owners and teams to ask a better question:

Not just, “Do I have enough CE?”

But, “Do I have the right CE for what I need to do?”

Because the future of pharmacy will not be built by simply completing hours. It will be built by teams that keep learning with purpose.
