Future Pharmacist...?





Last Summer, the FDA opened the door for the New Paradigm, where the pharmacist would be more active in Prescribing and Dispensing medications.

FDA asked the public for an input of ideas and Instrument which may be needed in a pharmacy sitting to help introduce the New Paradigm.

Combining the prescribing and dispensing of medications is the core opposition from physicians,  and the reason why healthcare is so expensive in USA. The tide is shifting.

In addition to Thermometer Blood Pressure equipment, and stethoscope now your smart phone can be used as a health diagnostic instrument, EKG, and Blood Glucose indicator. 
Few small steps and the cost of healthcare 0f 3.6 Trillion Dollars is cut in half.   Just a thought.
