Is anyone surprised Electronic Health Records are a top priority? It is equally interesting that compliance and HIPAA initiatives round out the list. Compliance has been a major driving force in pharmacy health systems over the past few years. NDC Requirements, E-Prescribing, HIPAA, and record keeping seem to trouble many pharmacies.

What would the top 10 list for Pharmacy Technology initiatives look like?
