With the exciting advancement of pharmacy automation, software, and
technology some systems may provide too much technology that seems to
cross the line of independent pharmacy ownership and operation.
Several of the biggest providers of pharmacy systems and distribution
entice their customers with several dynamic business solutions - when
mixed together - create a "big brother" setting.

For example:

* Pharmacy Software - with inventory monitoring functions
* Automated Ordering and Drug Supplies
* Packaging Systems with Analytic Reporting
* Network Adjudication and Switching / Pre & Post Editing
* Improving Reimbursement - Services / PBM-Management-Type
* Customer Contact Systems / Monitoring / Analytics

They know - how much you purchase, who your customers are, how much
money you make, how fast you are growing, who your competitors are,
and control the advancement of your pharmacy software.

Where is the "LINE"?

Is this a concern? I'm not a pharmacy operator / owner - but I support
your success and believe in the importance of your independence.
