Ateb forms Community Pharmacy Advisory Board

RALEIGH, N.C. — Ateb, a provider of pharmacy patient care solutions, has announced the formation of its inaugural Community Pharmacy Advisory Board, comprised of pharmacy leaders who will serve as an “internal institute” within the Ateb organization.



The group will address industry issues and position community pharmacy partners as industry leaders in delivering coordinated, quality patient care and driving healthier outcomes. By identifying and understanding key challenges, Ateb and the CPAB will work to develop solutions to allow independent community pharmacies to improve patient engagement, optimize medication use, streamline overall pharmacy management and leverage value-based opportunities to create and expand new revenue streams.



Ateb and the CPAB will analyze the collective findings to increase the awareness and adoption of innovative care solutions, allowing pharmacies to transform to an appointment based model and improve the quality of patient care to benefit patients, pharmacies, and payers. Ateb will use the insights provided by CPAB members to make business decisions to enhance the development of strategic solutions in order to meet the future needs of the community pharmacy.



Through a collaborative approach, Ateb and the CPAB will offer a platform where pharmacists may exchange experiences, best practices and ideas with their peers that will effectively increase their business optimization and improve their pharmacy operations.



Ateb’s Community Pharmacy Advisory Board consists of 23 members, and features a mix of community pharmacy partners and Ateb’s executive team.  The CPAB held its first meeting in May at Ateb’s headquarters in Raleigh.
