Principle has reinvented our traditional outsourced pharmacy management model. We now provide hospitals with transparent access to our platform of tools and reporting capabilities that were traditionally proprietary. These advanced tools and reporting capabilities represent the same platform we use to manage over 50 hospital client engagements today. We visually organize a pharmacy's most critical information into actionable data that allows hospitals to better manage and control pharmacy cost.

Our Pharmacy Tools encompass a wide range of reporting services that include:

We provide scheduled financial and clinical review WebEx Meetings to review reports and discuss corrective plans and programs when applicable. Our model is designed to provide the right services at the right time.

What makes us different?

Experience, Expertise & Trust
200+ pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and nurses across the United States with experience in all aspects of retail, institutional and specialty pharmacy.

Tools & Services
A licensable platform of best practice tools and services that has been the foundation of our success. This new concept allows hospitals to take advantage of industry metric tools and reporting features to produce change and improve operating efficiencies across the service line, without the expense and lack of transparency with traditional outsourced engagements.

Right Services at the Right Time
Our philosophy is to provide tools and implement services to get the platform adopted and then introduce professional service engagements only as needed.

Communication Clarity
We identify and act on communication issues with hospital management, pharmacy staff, physicians and nurses and outside agencies. Pharmacy management learns new communication tools and increases their effectiveness.

Change Management
We believe that understanding individual behavior is key to managing change in any organization. Communicating it correctly and getting staff acceptance is more about carrots than sticks! Our managers lead from the front and earn staff buy-in, they don’t drive it.

Implementation Success
Our Adoption Success Management™ program streamlines successful adoption and implementation of hospital initiatives, departmental programs and new procedures. We incorporate best industry practices to get programs up and running quickly.
