Of the program’s steps, the key is consistency. The pharmacies that succeed with nutrient depletion programs are the ones that make these actions part of their daily workflow. While each step is simple, the impact comes from doing them consistently and involving your team.
The best way to achieve success in pharmacy is through small actions, done every day. This course will help you implement those steps and track your progress.
The 4 Daily Actions:
- Educate at least one patient about nutrient depletion.
- Highlight one OTC supplement on your shelves with a team member.
- Share a quick nutrient depletion tip on social media.
- Review one patient’s medication profile for possible depletions.
