They are responsible for making sure their patients get their medicine safely and accurately, but conditions in the pharmacy do not always facilitate the concentration needed to do their job to the best of their ability. Many pharmacists report that they feel pushed to meet nearly impossible metrics that emphasize quantity of patients over quality of service. Add in long hours and staff shortages and you have an overworked profession pushed to the point where errors are more likely to happen. Additional responsibilities like COVID vaccination and testing have only intensified stress put on a workforce already strained to its breaking point.  It’s clear that a change is needed in the pharmacy industry that will improve working conditions for pharmacy employees, therefore improving patient safety. Pharmacies across the country are now looking to pharmacy automation systems for a solution to save time and reduce errors. Pharmacy automation uses machines to automate tasks in the pharmacy workflow, freeing up pharmacy staff for important customer-focused duties.     [Read More](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/empowering-the-pharmacist-with-pharmacy-automation)   2 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/empowering-the-pharmacist-with-pharmacy-automation#comments) Topics: [Pharmacy Trends](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/pharmacy-trends)     ## [Ness Exotic Wellness Center: Innovative Care for Exotic Pets](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/ness-exotic-wellness-center) Posted by [Caitlin Taylor](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/author/caitlin-taylor) Dec 29, 2021, 9:36:57 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.flavorx.com/hubfs/Ness4.jpg)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/ness-exotic-wellness-center) When a day's patients could include everything from rodents to reptiles to rabbits, exotic pet veterinarians have to be prepared with the knowledge and skills needed to treat the wide variety of conditions affecting the diverse species they treat.

The fight against COVID-19 has consistently put pharmacies in the spotlight, with pharmacy professionals carrying much of the burden of COVID testing and vaccination. Despite a list of tasks and challenges that seems to grow by the day, pharmacists and techs continue to show up for their patients and provide the critical care their communities need.   Even before the pandemic hit, the FLAVORx team knew we needed a way to thank pharmacy professionals for all that they do. That's why we created the [Care Force,](http://www.careforcerx.com) as a way to celebrate pharmacy workers who go above and beyond for their patients with not only their flavoring program, but in all aspects of their job. The program has grown to almost 500 pharmacists and technicians who represent pharmacies all around the United States. During National Pharmacy Week, we're so proud to recognize our Care Force Captains who continue to make a real difference for their patients every single day!   [Read More](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/national-pharmacy-week)   0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/national-pharmacy-week#comments) Topics: [Pharmacy Leaders](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/pharmacy-leaders)     ## [5 Tips to Beat Back-to-School Sickness](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/5-tips-to-beat-back-to-school-sickness) Posted by [Caitlin Taylor](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/author/caitlin-taylor) Sep 14, 2021, 10:01:58 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.flavorx.com/hubfs/Beat%20Back-to-school.png)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/5-tips-to-beat-back-to-school-sickness) As kids head back to school, it’s inevitable that families will be stuck dealing with the bugs that pop up this time of year, including strep throat, bacterial infections, and the flu.
