AI Transformation: Asepha Revolutionizes Pharmacy Operations
Pharmacies in the U.S. are currently overwhelmed by an operational crisis that is negatively impacting both profitability and patient care. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that 70% of pharmacies are operating understaffed, with pharmacists dedicating about 90% of their work time to administrative tasks instead of focusing on clinical care. In response to this, AI startup Asepha has introduced automation and AI agents to alleviate the burden of paperwork, thereby allowing pharmacists to dedicate more time to patient care.
