The modern pharmacy stands at a critical juncture. Faced with shrinking margins, increasing administrative burden, and a growing demand for advanced clinical services, the time for technological transformation is now.
Few understand this better than Eran Shavelsky, Founder and CEO of FlowRx, whose career has been dedicated to solving challenges in patient care and pharmacy operations.
Shavelsky’s journey into the pharmacy world began far from the prescription counter in MIT’s M.B.A. program where a class on medication adherence started Shavelsky thinking about the issues faced by elderly patients struggling to take their medications on time.
This led to designing specialized trays for pharmacies. When large chains showed resistance, Shavelsky made a bold move: he decided to open his own pharmacy, MedMinder, to deliver the advanced packaging service himself, eventually expanding to all 50 states.
Running MedMinder as a closed-door production pharmacy operation gave Shavelsky a firsthand view of the challenges pharmacies face on a daily basis. He observed the disconnect between pharmacists’ advanced clinical training and the tasks they actually spent most of their time performing.
