Background

Pharmacists are among the most accessible healthcare providers yet often remain underutilized in care delivery. As healthcare continues its shift toward value-based care, pharmacists must be empowered to deliver whole-person, preventative care and chronic disease management — while also driving profitable returns. 


A national retailer operating over 2,400 pharmacies sought to do just that. Their strategic goal: Empower pharmacists to practice at the top of their license, improve patient outcomes, and generate new revenue streams through reimbursable clinical services previously uncompensated. 

The Challenge

The retailer recognized pharmacists' growing importance in preventive care and chronic disease management. Patients interact with their pharmacist 12–15 times per year, compared to just 1–4 visits with a primary care physician, often without needing an appointment. However, systemic barriers stood in the way:

  • Outdated workflows and high administrative burden led to underutilized clinical opportunities.
  • Fragmented systems and patient data created inefficiencies, communication breakdowns, and care risks.
  • Lack of scalable billing infrastructure prevented pharmacies from capturing reimbursement.
  • No single technology platform could address the scope and scale of the challenge across all 2,400 locations.

These constraints limited pharmacists’ ability to deliver meaningful care — and blocked a major business growth opportunity.

The Solution

AssureCare implemented the comprehensive AssureRx platform that consolidated systems and streamlined operations:

  • Pharmacists worked from a single, intelligent queue showing the most impactful clinical actions — right patient, right time, right intervention.
  • Real-time analytics, decision support, dashboards, and billing integration enabled end-to-end clinical delivery and claims submission with the click of a button.
  • Pharmacists could quickly shift to the next best clinical opportunity, practicing at the top of their license all day.
Positive Change

Operational Excellence:

Clinical Opportunities per Pharmacist per Day went from 1–1.5 to 11

Clinical Opportunities per Pharmacist per Year grew from ~450  to ~4,100

Total Opportunities Closed (All Sites) skyrocketed from ~1M to ~10M

Revenue Growth:

25% more opportunities identified via AssureCare’s proprietary algorithms

25% growth in enhanced services and value-based contracting revenue

Reimbursement captured for thousands of MTM services, screenings, and immunizations

Why it Matters

For every $1 invested in AssureCare, the retailer achieved over $15 in ROI — driven by:

  • Increased billable services
  • Stronger value-based care (VBC) contract performance
  • Improved medication adherence and outcomes

This long-term partnership reflects the future of pharmacy: pharmacists as front-line care providers delivering high-value care, reducing system costs, and generating sustainable revenue.

AssureCare’s platform, AssureRx, didn’t just streamline pharmacy operations — it made scalable clinical care profitable, while improving access and health for patients across the country.
