The results (n=160) show a massive 72% of respondents' pharmacies perform blood pressure checks for anyone who asks, for FREE! AusPharm is astonished that in a climate where margins are under pressure and the profession seems to be expressing a strong desire to be paid appropriately for the services it provides, so many pharmacies appear to be giving their time and expertise away for free! Only 15% of the respondents' pharmacies have adopted a fee-for-service model for blood pressure checks. A further 6% have limited their fee-free offering to regular customers only and 8% do not offer the service at all. Why are so many of us doing free blood pressure checks? What sets the 15% who get paid apart from the rest of us? Is their service any better? Could it just be they value their time & simply have the gumption to ask for a fee? More....

It's worth a try! :: Ron Batagol : 20/11/2008 : Ron Batagol returns with a new feature article and a fresh strategy to combat the proliferation of high volume dispensing environments: "I propose the Professional Indemnity Insurer - as a pre-condition, and, therefore, before accepting a proposal or renewal from a pharmacist for Professional Indemnity - require pharmacists to sign a declaration of compliance with the established professional standards for dispensing prescriptions and counselling patients about their medications. They would also be required to declare that, within their dispensing environment, they will make every endeavour to minimise known risk factors for potential dispensing errors as listed on the declaration, which need to be clearly identified and agreed upon by the profession."
