title: Benchmarking 2010: measuring long-term care and consultant pharmacy practice.
abstract: The American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, with support from the pharmacy management software company QS/1, has completed its 2010 survey to determine industry standards for long-term care pharmacy operations, consultant pharmacist practice, and the use of health information technology in the long-term care setting. The report presents data collected in this annual business benchmarking survey. Examples of data include gross profit margins of long-term care/closed-door pharmacies, pharmacists' salaries, prescription payer mix, consultant pharmacist productivity and contracting, and implementation of technology solutions such as ePrescribing, electronic medication administration records, electronic medical records, and automated dispensing.
