Outpatient & Retail Pharmacy Services
We provide market and demand modeling, retail pro forma analysis, and own-use reviews to assess pharmacy opportunities and evaluate operating models across centralized and decentralized fill, mail order, meds-to-beds, and transitions of care.
Ambulatory Care
We analyze ambulatory pharmacy operations across revenue cycle, prior authorization and denial management, site-of-care strategy, patient assistance programs, and payer and PBM strategy to improve financial performance across infusion, home health, and other care settings.
Operations & Workflow
We assess pharmacy workflows, labor models, and capital equipment and IT needs to find opportunities across waste control, diversion prevention, medication safety, central distribution, and sterile and non-sterile compounding.
Purchasing
We assess pharmacy purchasing practices across contract management, rebates, purchasing surveillance, price verification, failure-to-supply, and inventory management to strengthen purchasing performance.
340B Optimization
We evaluate 340B eligibility, contract pharmacy arrangements, TPA configuration, and program controls to strengthen savings capture, support WAC reduction, improve program performance, and reduce HRSA audit risk.

Drug costs are rising. Unmanaged formularies make it worse.
A pharmacy that runs well costs less to operate and delivers better care. Most have room to do both.
Care is shifting to outpatient settings. Most health systems haven't built the pharmacy infrastructure to support it.

FAQs
Both. Inpatient pharmacy, outpatient and retail, specialty, infusion, and ambulatory settings all fall within our scope, and many engagements cross more than one of them.
We customize the engagement to the customer need.

We then develop a prioritized roadmap with recommended actions and implementation considerations. Our advisors can support execution alongside your team or provide guidance as your pharmacy leaders move recommendations forward.
We use data and analytics to benchmark pharmacy performance, quantify opportunities, and inform our advisory approach. Our advisors combine these insights with real-world pharmacy experience, working alongside your team to develop practical recommendations aligned with your goals.
